Really interesting insight into the science of hitting. But that interviewer dropped the ball a little bit. I'd have asked VP about the bad shoulder injury he sustained last year from swinging a bat in BP. You hate to see such a serious injury be sustained from something that simple. You can't ask him to stop swinging, ya know?
I fear it'll prove to be a chronic situation, much like the Angels are dealing with as it pertains to Anthony Rendon. I'd argue it's the #1 most important thing when it comes to VP, not his ability to hit well when he's feeling good, which I'd argue can at this point just be assumed.
When he sustained that injury this past year, he said it's happened to him a lot in the past and so he knows by how bad it was this time that it won't keep him out for more than a couple months or so. That didn't seem like such great news to me at all.
A+ to PB for the link, C+ to fangraphs for not asking the actual pertinent question.
