Ex-Yankees All-Star question about Jose Altuve's first skill

Star of Houston Astros Jose Altuve It remains in the rest of the league in one of the most attractive statistics on basketball. Altuve's success in First Pitches is not second, as he hit .370 in the first releases.

However, according to the MLB analyst and the above Yankees of New York All-Star Mike Stanton, the state does not reveal the image exactly and said it is “misleading” because it only has the balls that are played on the first pitch.

At the Wheelhouse Company podcast, Stanton said (34:18 onwards):

“Now you see situations like Jose Altuve hitting .370 on the first pitch, right?

Stanton credited the former Braves' launch coach Leo Mazzone to keep track of statistics.

“Leo Mazzone, when I was with the Braves, used to find this statistics. Now, you have to remember -that returned when you really had to put the pen on paper,” added Stanton. “You couldn't simply get on your computer and get any statistics you wanted. But I used to tell us what was a real battle in the first launch attacks, not just first step balls in play.”

Mike Stanton shares the importance of being forward in the count

The duel between a pitcher and a whisk is an art thing in baseball. The pitcher aims to remove the beat by ensuring three strikes, while slug often hopes that perfect ground for taking advantage of and punishing.

Being ahead of the count refers to situations of 0-2 or 3-2, where the beat is only a ball away from hitting or walking. At present, the pitcher is under the greatest pressure to run a playing field not only inside the strike area, but also in a location that minimizes potential damage.

Mike Stanton said so much during the same segment.

“Listen, if you don't have great things, it's even more important to be at the helm,” added Stanton. “Because you have no raw speed or sick movements or something. Once you move on to the count, now I can expand myself. Now the heartbeat is on your heels and protect yourself instead of being in the driver's seat, as when it is 2-0. Getting the count forward is all.”

Stanton wants viewers to know that the average battle average.
