CHICAGO — There are times in a tight game, Luke Voit acknowledged Thursday, when he’ll gaze from home plate back to his superiors for reminders and reassurance.
“I’ll look over to [hitting coach] Marcus [Thames] in the dugout, and he’ll go, ‘Slow down. Don’t take that big swing,’” Voit explained to The Post, also simulating how Thames will push his hands forward, like a police officer stopping traffic.
If you’ve watched Voit play so much as once, you know the 28-year-old is a high-energy, excitable player. He’s precisely the type of player you wonder about in big spots.
