An Open Letter To Major League Pitchers,
I get it; you like to live dangerously. You’re a major-league pitcher, a better athlete than anyone your hometown has ever seen. You’re confident and you should be.
Conventional wisdom says when you see six-foot-four tanned Hercules at the plate you should probably pitch him inside so he can’t hurt you with his tree trunk arms. You’ve probably gotten a lot of great hitters out in your career this way. But can I offer you some different conventional wisdom? Unless you really enjoy giving up dingers, stop pitching inside to Carlos Correa.
