KLAW article on being wrong on Riley

[Russ2dollas]

Athletic has an interesting article from Klaw on Riley. Says he was wrong on Riley. Calls Riley a star with room to improve some in the last lines.

I thought this part was particularly interesting:
“I think the biggest thing that I’ve learned, earlier in my career, was that I either had to pick one pitch, a fastball or an off-speed pitch, and sit on that, and hopefully I got it where I could do damage,” Riley says now, talking about his transformation. “Now I’m able to process an at-bat, understand what a pitcher is trying to do and be able to recognize spin. I know where a ball needs to start for it to be a strike. I see it in this tunnel, and I have to check off on it.”

That fits the points many of us were making that Riley looked like a guess hitter. He'd go up looking for X and if he didn't get it, then he looked horrible. Riley says he was doing just that.

There is some similar stuff in the article from other DOB articles about this hitting guru, Brumley. When can we get this guy working with Waters?
