[AZ Central] Jake Lamb’s heady hitting helps D-Backs top Rockies Lamb said Chatwood has pounded him inside with fastballs and cutters all season, something pitchers have done to him with regularity during his time in the big leagues. He thinks he tried too hard last season to prove he could hit that pitch, getting himself out too often by swinging. He prefers pitches over the middle of the plate or away, likes to shoot balls into the left-center field gap. But he knows it’s in his best interest to look inside from time to time, which was why he was sitting on an inside fastball when he came to the plate with two runners on in the fifth.
