Yeah, blame Walker.
I will. He is the hitting coach. Is it too much to ask for him to suggest that he swing at the first pitch if its right down the middle. The approach he takes is not condusive to his skill level. He has no plate coverage. Pitcher throws 1st pitch strike to him every time then pitches him away and is overmatched. Time to try a different approach
