You know the scary thing? If you look at Becksy's numbers after he got over that initial 30 ab's of nothing, he hit .286 with 28 doubles and 14 HR over his last 350 at bats. If you simply project up to 550 at bats, that's 22 HR and 44 2b...if he does absolutely nothing in terms of improvement beyond where he was once he adapted to big league pitching.

If you ever want to know what "quality make-up" sounds like for a ball player, listen to this interview.

Beckham just gets it.

That's his hockey name.

Does that bother you, sucky?

I would think about this the other way around. More likely league pitching makes adaption to Beckham's swing and we will see how he responds. Remember it takes awhile for league to catch up in regards to scouting reports and film. I expect them to attach Beckham totally different this year.

There was more than a few stretches last year where it didn't seem to matter how they attacked him, he'd still get a double.

Eventually they found a weakness though, the high, inside fastball seemed to be a pitch GB was willing and able to get himself out on through much of August. Fortunately, he began recognizing this eventually and laying off it, but he did struggle to adjust at times...

Play around with this... you will likely have a blast.

 

\/\/007!

 

 

Hopefully he doesn't go thru a "sophomore slump" this season, because GB has become so important as that table setter being the #2 hitter and all.

Looks like he takes a lot low and inside. That certainly is an interesting resource, for sure.

 

Here's a question: in the right-hand column where it lists the result percentages...what's the difference between a Line Out and a Lineout?
