It’s worse when he is worn down.

One of the best improvements in going from Yost and Matheny to Quartaro has been their prioritization of resting Salvy and not running him into the ground by August with inadequate rest.

Matheny especially was bad about that.

I’ve always heard him described as a good bad all hitter. Not sure if that’s exactly true, but he’s so huge, his swing can reach nearly every bad ball.
