Best pitching in a looong time from Tanner there, after the 0-2 HBP.

Yeah. He blew away a top 20 prospect with a 1.500 ops so far. 

This season may ride or die on how much we can get out of Witt.

2 thoughts for hitters until this guy proves he can throw the fastball for a strike.

Look for spin.  Starts middle/outer half, lay off.  Starts inner half, drive it up the middle or opposite field.  (Righties...the opposite for lefties)

Don't see spin, take it.

It's embarrassing that we can't hammer a guy who can't throw fastballs for strikes.  It's like they don't get coached on anything and they're treating each AB as generic.

They're still going up there and looking for both pitches.  ALL they have to do is sit on the one he's relying on, the slider.  Breaking balls are all about where they starts.  And you look up the middle or away (for righties) so you're not out in front.  You ignore the fastball completely until you have 2 strikes and have to address it.

It really is that simple, yet we're just hacking away - swinging at first pitch balls and trying to pull breaking pitches on the outer half.
