Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler's night is over. He went eight shutout, allowed five hits, didn't walk a batter and struck out 12. He is the first pitcher in baseball history to go eight innings, walk none and punch out 12 in a postseason game.
Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level and 10 fold at HS level and below. Once you get two strikes, it becomes 100% a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke-up, shorten up, widen up, get closer to plate and implement your two strike mental approach. Some call this their “B Swing.” Make the pitcher work! Always liked “look fastball away and adjust.” But there are other 2 strike approaches that are just as effective. Need to experiment and find out what works best for your style of hitting. Often a quality two strike approach leads to hard hit balls. But even when they don’t, the opposition still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s called pressure. Much more difficult to defend than a right turn back to the dugout.
