who is Justin Lehr ? can't find any information on him. What impact arms did he develop? Maybe Logan Webb? what's he known for....? I get the Popkins hire but this one just seems random
Oh really that's interesting, I'd like to see the article/interview but yes they threw him into the pen so he had to reduce his pitch repitoire but I also read about how the Giants tweaked Gausman as well.
speaking of fixing....look what the Yankees did with Weaver (Blake doesn't get enough credit for all the pitchers that he's helped - Michael King, Clay Holmes...etc)
"He started with longtime hitting specialist and Dodgers consultant Craig Wollenbrock and current Dodgers hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc. He later went to Driveline Baseball and worked with Philadelphia Phillies minor-league instructor Jason Ochart. Then he kept searching."
Yes!!! LFG
The Soto shuffle was on full display during that ab vs Gaddis
The count was 1-2 and I think they were trying to waste a FB high and away but it got way too much of the plate.
there's a small hole in Soto's swing right at the bottom of the zone which Gaddis was doing - then for some reason decided to challenge him with a FB. dumb
