The Pitch

We talked a week ago about the types of pitches that Albert was hunting for. His primary target has been fastballs and sliders middle or higher and primarily middle to away. 700 was a little more inside than usual, but Albert knows what to do with a slider that sits just off center.

Bickford threw three sliders in the at-bat.
