They stopped throwing the high fastball to Walker

Everything has been low and away or or middle in for the last week. He needs to adjust and not chase those low and away pitches or he is going to become the old walker again

Agree ! That last at bat in the 9th was good though. He hit that ball on the barrel with good exit velo but unfortunately it was right at the SS.
Easy double play . Keep hitting the ball hard and good things happen . Be patient ..easier said than done .. Don't chase being anxious to get a hit.

I posted a topic about that recently. Teams will pitch around him and he needs to avoid chasing pitches. Same with Wetherholt. Teams were nibbling and he was walking a lot. Now that teams know he has plate discipline they will start throwing strikes.
