Aglets Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Pretty detailed write-up from Melewski this morning on Westburg's early struggles at Bowie. https://www.masnsports.com/steve-melewski/2021/08/westburgs-slow-start-at-bowie-and-mountcastles-home-run-chase.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammer7 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Westburg struggling in AA Bowie is a great experience for him. The Melewski article references his struggles with the inside fastball and velocity. I like the way his development has happened this year, with the struggles happening now in AA. It gives him something to work specifically to improve on over the off season. His development has been a success this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me a little nervous but hopefully it's just a matter of making adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As advanced and intelligent a hitter as he is, should be just a matter of time and experience. Adjustments made when necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Westburg is getting busted inside with premium velocity. He’a having to adjust to that. The article described him as a “grinder”. His struggles at AA doesn’t really bother me. Let him adjust. I still want to see him in the AFL. The more ABs to adjust the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZNJ Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 He might be getting busted inside but I am skeptical that AA pitches command is that good that that is all he's seeing right now. He's slumping. It happens. Might have even happened at Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZNJ Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Let's hope AA is just a bump and not a detour. Jammer seems to be very high on Westburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just catching up with this string. Understandable nervousness. A lot of us were nervous in May about reports that Adley was having problems catching up with heat. That seems to have worked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZNJ Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 A triple and homer tonight so far. Looks like he's adjusting or just breaking out of a slump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waroriole Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Even with his slump in AA, he kept a good batting eye. The OBP stayed respectable the whole time, considering his BA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52520Andrew Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 He looked good last night. Didn't stick out in a bad way playing at short and he is a big guy. Think even if he doesn't work at short, he could easily survive at 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
