I realized after the fact that the zone is actually from the pitcher’s POV, so he actually hits inside better than outside.
damn Sato has to be A LOT more patient at the plate
hes like me in mlb the show
Did u mean Bryant or Buraianto??
Interesting factor to bring up with Sato Japanese Joey Gallo 🤔
Hope you can give an update!
He finished 126 games with 173 SO and only 25 walks. Crazy. That’s 6.92% if I did that right.
Seems like he still hasn't quite made the adjustment. Would love to see his OBP go up a tick.
