Back to EpisodesPhillies' Patience Pays Off with First Pitch Strategy
Description
Bryce Harper and the Phillies are redefining their approach this season, taking more first pitches and aiming for patience. Harpers first-pitch swing rate has dropped significantly, and his teammates are following suit. However, pitchers are adapting, increasing first-pitch strikes. Harper is also swinging less at breaking balls, a shift that could impact his performance. The teams strategy may wear down opposing pitchers, but its still early to tell if this approach will pay off.
