“I think he does an exceptional job of hitting the ball where it’s pitched,” Gausman said. “If you pitch him away, he’s going to hit it in that direction and if you pitch him in he’s going to try and pull it. Gausman admitted his night wasn’t quite as locked in as either Bichette or battery-mate Danny Jansen who enjoyed a four-hit night, but then with 11 runs to work with, he didn’t really have to be.
