Daily News | Rob Thomson on Bryce Harper’s unusual at-bat on Wednesday, his timeline at first base, and more
In the sixth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Brewers, Bryce Harper had a strange at-bat. He stepped into the box but did not bend his knees or lift his hands or arch his bat back as Hoby Milner’s pitches crossed the plate. Instead, he rested his bat on his shoulder with his hands down, watching the pitches as they passed him by.
“I asked him about it,” Thomson said. “This is the second time he’s faced him. The first time he faced him, he couldn’t really pick him up. So he’s going to take a couple of pitches and try and find his release point. And then it got to the point where he got behind in the count, he didn’t really think he was going to throw him a strike until he got to 3-2 and then he was locked in. He just didn’t pull the trigger.“As I said, early in the count, he’s trying to find his release point.
“I think just the situational play” is what Thomson worries about the most, the manager said. “Handling bunts. It just so happens that he might get a lot of practice against Cleveland [this weekend], because they bunt a lot. But that’s OK. We’ve got to go through it. We can’t simulate everything. We can’t simulate game speed. He’ll adapt.”
