My best guess is that it was known that he was going one time through the order. I kinda expected him to go through the lineup twice and then hand it off to Ranger. Avoid that third time through the order penalty.
I’ve had so many people asking me about Ben that I wanted to let you know-Ben had a 2nd chemo injection on October 23rd and from that day has been getting worse and worse. He has lost use of his back legs-almost like they’re paralyzed. He can barely walk. He hasn’t eaten in 3 days. I’m currently in Pennsylvania with a holistic Dr who is administering a 3 day Vitamin C IV hoping it will flush the toxics from his body and give him a chance. The next 24-48 hours will tell us if he has a chance or not. I’m so thankful for ALL the love so many have shown him over the last couple years. One of the hardest things I’ve gone through in my life. Ben is my best friend and companion. I love him with all of my heart. If you’re a spiritual person I’d love for you to pray for my boy. 🙏🏼 He’s currently in an ER hospital overnight and I’m picking him up tomorrow for another round of Vitamin C. Please pray for Ben and hope he pulls out of it.

The FYP on X is great because things like this frequently come across my timeline.
The answer is because for the majority of the portion of the ball flight that you have to read the pitch and make a swing decision this pitch looks identical to the sinkers he has been throwing all night (and I think the pitch directly before this one) that kick off the outside corner and then have 20-22” of HB that allow them to come back into the strike zone.
