Luis Guillorme’s 22 pitch at bat for the Mets.

https://defector.com/now-here-is-some-baseball-ass-baseball/

3.12.21

“But there are those who believe the game is better when pitchers are forced to hit.

A pitcher hitting more often than not leads to the most obvious and predictable strategic decisions.”
