Daily dose of Yordan (Game 9)

At bat 1: 9 Pitch strikeout swinging

At bat 2: 8 Pitch strikeout swinging

At bat 3: 4 Pitch lineout (Opposite field)

At bat 4: 1 Pitch single (Bunt beating shift!)

While it may look like another bad game for Yordan, with a 1-4 with just a bunt single to show for it, I saw a vastly different hitter from yesterday. For one, he was controlling the zone and working into deep counts, as shown by his 9 pitch and 8 pitch strikeouts. He was laying off pitches low in the zone and doing damage on pitches in his sweet spot, they just weren't falling today. His lineout was a DEEP lineout with barely any effort, and it was opposite field too. Speaking of opposite field, his first pitch bunt single was really nice to see, it showed how he kept the defense honest and his all smiles after getting on first was really good to see. Overall while the results don't speak yet his mechanics and body language were a lot better than yesterday, those will definitely translate into tangible results soon.
