Vlad's approach has changed and he is pressing
1st AB: ground out slider outside corner
2nd AB: flyout slider just off the outside corner
3rd AB: walk
4th AB: ground out changeup outside
He isnt getting any cookies like everyone else and he is expanding (still strikes), but he needs to hit his pitch if he can, not a pitchers pitch. His season he has done an amazing job of doing that. Since we came back to Toronto he has been swing happy (like everyone)
