Pitches Seen

[nate]

First of all, Iannetta was insane seeing 27 pitches, but also important to note Hamilton saw the second most at 20.  He does seem to be doing better lately.  The game against Sale was brutal but other than that he is seeing the ball better.

Chicago's pitching stunk today.

Hamilton definitely put together four pretty good at bats today. . showed a lot more patience.

I don't think Hamilton is getting any better at seeing pitches. His season average is 3.70 P/PA. His April average is 3.70. His May average is 3.71. His average over 5 games before today was 3.63. After Tuesday's game his 5 game average will probably be back to 3.70.

3.70 isn't terrible. It places his about 100th out of 162 qualified hitters. It's actually better than his career average. He's probably not getting any better at that. It would be fine if he actually made decent contact or got a XBH more than once a week.

20 is pretty good for Hamilton considering he saw 27 in 9 plate appearances in that 19 inning game.

Hamilton's problem is that he isn't hitting the ball hard.

I don't care if Hamilton sees 40 pitches a game, or 4. If he's not hitting the ball it doesn't really matter. He's never been a patient hitter, but he has almost always had success.

Now now folks, he's suffering from vagisightless.
