Anthony Rizzo has developed a reputation as one of baseball’s best two-strike hitters. His tendency to choke up on the bat and prioritize contact when down to his last strike has been talked about repeatedly as one of the reasons he’s such a dangerous hitter beyond just his ability to mash.
Even knowing how good he is in those difficult situations, Rizzo’s two-out, two-strike RBI single in Sunday’s tough loss to the Rangers was something to behold.
Wanted to take a moment to appreciate Rizzo's single from Sunday's game.
