Summary
Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday has started off his big-league career mired in a slump. The good news for Holliday is that he's started off with one hit in his first 25 at-bats. The image shows the pitches that Holliday has taken for strikes in counts with fewer than two strikes. Almost all of the pitches have been down in the zone or away. Timing is a more intuitive concept than "approach" It can manifest in a few different ways, including in swing and misses. It can also impact the batted ball type, direction, and quality. The only thing separating Holliday from being recognized as a good all-around player is his offensive production. Fortunately, we think that Holliday will get it figured out sooner than later.
