Extractions: exciting , dammit. It's the play that gets you to clench your fist and yell "Yeah!" (even if you're alone watching on TV). A key RBI in a tight spot is often the high point of a close ballgame. I believe the backlash that the RBI has received in the analysis community arises from the general public's overrating of the stat. It's true that some mediocre players have racked up some pretty impressive RBI totals. And likewise, often the best hitters will not be found among the league leaders in RBI. Ok, that's fine: the RBI is not a particularly good measure of batting abilty. But, it is one of the best things to see on a ball field, so it merits some attention. The Players' Opinion The RBI has always been held in high esteem by players, managers and coaches. Hank Greenberg , one of the top RBI men of his generation, recounted to Lawrence Ritter his view of the RBI. From the incomparable The Glory of Their Times I've always believed that the most important aspect of hitting was driving in runs. Runs batted in are more important than batting average, more important than home runs, more important than anything. That's what wins ball games: driving runs across the plate.

Extractions: I see good rotation, however, it breaks down...... It also seems that his arms are pushing at the ball into a V. It could just be that he was fooled by a pitch. Comm 06-02-2006, 02:29 AM Here is a Home Run that traveled about 410 to left center. This guy is a great hitter with a ton of power to all fields.
