Nah he got out. He sucks...needs to make adjustments. His swing looks long, send him down to fix his launch angle. Cant be hitting line drives in the Majors
You all need to stop being overly moronic trolls on every AB. He is 20 just got smashed the hand, using new equipment he probably hasnt used in the hand guard, and seeing very little hittable pitches because pitchers have been nearly perfect against him. His swing is getting more agressive this week trending back to his healthy swing....next week we should see him have an off day and hopefully come back with no hand guard and start hitting like before or working his way to it
If he was pressing he would be swinging at pitches no where near the plate...he isnt
If he had a long swing he would be missing pitches in the zone...he isnt
If his swing was a tad late or slow he would be fouling off pitches and letting the ball travel further then normal....he is
What makes a swing slow. Sore hand and new equipment on the hand....facts
This is what it looks like when you all keep making up things that are wrong with Vlad, his swing, attitude, mindset, etc

7 days before getting his hand smashed Vladito was hitting .412...7 days after .152 with the hand guard and swelling....absolutely no correlation. It's all about adjustments and chasing/pressing
You keep changing stances every game lmao
Vlad is the only player in baseball who doesnt get fastballs or breaking balls down the middle it seems...and the sliders on the corner keep getting called a strike even 5 inches off the plate. Umpires are dictating the swings half the time
His swing isnt long it's just slow and not as agressive since being hit on his hand. Last two games have been much better including crushing an offspeed pitch 115 mph
Just saw about Pearson. Not sure what's up...could maybe, hopefully, best case just spreading out some innings giving him a break after a couple of months
