“You watch those [Astros] at-bats, those guys do not chase outside of the strike zone,” Hyde said. “And that’s why they don’t strike out. That’s why they do damage; they’re really good players, but also they draw walks, and they’re tough to pitch to and, you know, Yordan Álvarez, [Carlos] Correa, those guys, they can not chase, and I think it’s good for some of our hitters to see that, too, and I think Ryan recognized that, also, of the more you can shrink your strike zone, the more success you’re going to have.
