Spring training is an exciting time, teams are shaping rosters and fans are excited to get to the ballpark. The majority of the teams rosters are set, and spring training is a time to get the younger minor league players some work to see if what role they may serve the organization. This means that the veterans may see limited at-bats early in spring training, and only play a few full games late in spring training. Is this a good regiment to get their timing down? Do they feel comfortable at the plate when the season starts?
Jake Arrieta tossed the first no-hitter of the 2016 MLB season, and he was not impressed with himself. He mentioned that he just gutted it out, but didn't feel that the timing was right. So if a pitcher can dominate 27 plate appearences without his good stuff, are the hitters still trying to find their groove? Pitchers are in the same situation early in the season. They are trying to find that third pitch, and get their control down. So who really has the advantage in April? LIsten in and call the show with your thoughts?
