People don't see the ball, they don't have good swings on him. I can't really tell you exactly why, but there's some deception to him. Some of it might be his height, some of it might be the downhill plane all the time, but there's deception to him and I really like it.
More Quotes from Joe Girardi:
It was an ugly game for us. We didn't pitch, we didn't play defense, we didn't hit with runners on. It's difficult to win a game like that.Joe Girardi
The first thing you look at is his receiving. You don't see him boxing balls. He's actually getting strikes for pitchers and he's keeping the ball in the zone. For me, that's step 1. Gary wanted to get him comfortable with that first.
Joe Girardi
He was above 30 pitches, and that's a lot of pitches for one inning in your first time out. I wanted to protect him. He was underneath the ball a little bit and he didn't have command of his fastball. That's going to happen in his first time out. I just didn't want to make too much of it, get him out and not get him hurt.
Joe Girardi
I like his approach to the plate. It's conducive to a number two.
Joe Girardi
Every hitter has holes in his swing. Some holes are smaller than others. When pitchers figure Jacobs out, he will have to make the changes.
