Orioles Not Playing Small Ball
By Amber Theoharis on April 17, 2009 9:18 PM
The Orioles hitters are wearing out starting pitching. So far this season no
opposing starter has lasted more than six innings against the Orioles.
The Birds are knocking pitchers out of the game by forcing them to throw a
lot of pitches early. They're getting deep into the count before getting
their hits. Ty Wigginton told me it's not by design.
The deep counts are a direct result of patience. Orioles hitters are waiting
for good pitches to hit. They're not deliberately taking pitches. If the
first pitch of the at bat looks good, Wigginton says he'd swing at that just
as fast.
Bench coach Dave Jauss told me there's a misconception that the Orioles might
be taking a lot of pitches because they take the Billy Beane approach to
hitting which values walks and on base percentage.
The O's aren't trying to walk. Walks are fine, but hitting is the focus. It's
different from Beane's small ball philosophy which is built around
manufacturing runs. The Oriole bats are hot, they're going for extra base
hits or even better the home run.
The O's hitters are taking pitches simply because they are disciplined and
are making the pitcher throw to them. They're refusing to swing until they
see a good pitch to hit. Coincidentally that's driven up the pitch count for
opposing pitchers early in the game.
Jauss said the Orioles approach is more in line with the way Hall of Famer
Earl Weaver managed. Wait for the pitch, and when you see it, hit it.
It's working. Right now the Orioles .290 team batting average is the third
best in the American League.
