re: Little known but very telling baseball statistics

Totally agree with the poor approach but not with the lack of discipline. LSU’s hitters are constantly having to hit with two strikes and they get into that situations because they take way too many pitches. In other words, too disciplined. Statistically, the odds of a hitter being successful go down with each strike so with 2 strikes they are super low. Hitting a baseball is arguably the hardest thing to do in sports so why in the hell would you eliminate 1 or even 2 of your swings? Wanna avoid Ks, hit earlier in the count.

Watch their ABs and its pretty clear.
