As they attempt to turn their season in a winning direction, the Yankees recently have been changing the direction of their batted balls.
The Yankees, a heavy pull-hitting club for much of their recent history, have been using the whole field more since Sean Casey became hitting coach earlier this month.at Camden Yards on Friday night, Yankees hitters had pulled 38.5 percent of pitches they put into play. For their first 97 games, the majority of which came under Dillon Lawson’s regime as hitting coach, they pulled balls at a 42.4 percent clip.Not exactly, according to Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
“We’re trying to see the ball longer,” said Kiner-Falefa, who didn’t play Friday. “Since Sean’s got here, I feel like he’s been really preaching: ‘See the ball deep and slow the game down.’ So I think we’re just trying to do that more as a team.”Kiner-Falefa has been a particularly eager pupil. In the first half of the season, the righty-hitting utilityman — who had reworked his plate approach, focusing more on swinging hard rather than putting the ball in play — pulled 36.
The team has been trying to see the pitch for an extra moment, which has led to fewer early swings that result in pulled balls.
