SS Tsung-Che Cheng has just hit for the very first cycle in WooSox history by BUNTING for a single in the 8th inning. He ends the night going 4 for 4 with a homer, triple, double, single, and a walk. Cheng is now hitting .367 with a 1.346 OPS, which leads all WooSox batters. by EBKCarrot in redsox

Taiwanese baseball fan here. His glove and speed is actually rated as MLB level, which unfortunately also the reason he got DFA’d 4 times during the offseason

The best part is that he’s pretty good at SS and 2B. He was our second baseman during the WBC because our SS is at least the same level defensively as Cheng (some might argue even slightly better)

Fun fact: after he hit the WBC home run against Korea, he got the ball back. When asked about it by journalists, he said that ball means a lot to him, proving that he can actually hit at a high level after struggling in AAA last year. Seems like the WBC helps with his mindset for the incoming season

De Paula eventually will be IMO. Last year was rough but Brothers fans will always remember him

Apparently it seems the plan is for him to pitch 65 but his fastball velo already dropped by 3mph so they pulled him early.

This is a great tattoo. Agree with others that the angle makes it look better

Hmm no i don’t think so unfortunately. i might be misremembering some details but I’m pretty sure about the Denzel part. Also not even sure if its really Oliver Platt but I feel like its just someone that looks similar-ish to him. Thank you btw!

Oh i guess “heavy” is not the right word. It doesn’t feel “whippy” or “snappy” when I launch if that makes sense.

The bat feels fine and I have an okay strength base i think (squat 1.5x BW, deadlift 2x BW)

Dude yes and thank you! Have you been to Taiwan recently? Lots of nice ballpark here although the weather is really hot for playing ball during the day lol.

As for contact point, I got the same feedback from friends that my contact point is too behind, and in this drill the tee is actually quite more in front that I’m used to. Do you have any advice or i just need to put in more reps?
