A studious professional, Charlie Blackmon is using the 2019 disappointing Rockies season as a chance to learn and improve. While it seems cliché, it is what Chuck Nazty enjoys. He likes evolving and changing, and it’s what keeps him one of the best and consistent hitters in the Rockies lineup.
In this feature from Thomas Harding, Blackmon discusses combating pitchers’ strategies of avoiding throwing fastballs against him (because he historically crushes them), instead opting for off-speed pitches outside of the zone, and his goals of improving his discipline at the plate, as well as the bright spots and woes of the 2019 campaign.
