Usually when you read stuff of mine, your stuck in front of 5,000 words blinking across your screen. This time I’ll save you the Joyce-ian burden and keep it short and semi-sweet, as sweet as my words can be at least: Adalberto Mondesi has a new approach at the plate, probably.
One of the biggest problems with Mondesi was his inability to not swing at any and every pitch, or rather his ability to not lay off bad pitches, a trait he shares with a lot of Royals hitters. Last year, Mondesi swung at 38% of pitches outside the zone, among the bottom 10th percentile in baseball.
