Hitters almost universally say that they focus on the fastball and adjust to off-speed pitches. The approach makes sense, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy to do. Not only do some pitchers rely on a healthy dose of secondaries, certain counts and situations make a heater less likely. Riley Greene feels that staying disciplined is the key.

“It’s a trust factor,” the Detroit Tigers outfielder said. “Sometimes you go up there knowing you’re not getting a heater, but you still stay on it. For me, personally, if I’m on the heater I know that I can get to any off-speed. It helps me stay on the off-speed better than sitting on it. If I sit off-speed, I’m getting jumpy. If I’m sitting on a heater, I’m not.”

I'm going to be at Monday night's game against the Mets, sitting about 14 rows back in section 12 just a bit off to the side of home plate. Looking forward to it!

I saw a game at Shea stadium once I thought it was beautiful. How's City Field? Have fun.
