What's the "medicine ball" story they were referring to? I had to leave for an inning to warm up dinner.

Fuller-Borgschulte drill for Santander BP rounds.   Medicine ball on top of a bucket back at the catcher's position and gives a sound cue if he "takes pitches" incorrectly in BP.

Its how Santander learned to take a walk.  Basically has a medicine ball behind him during batting practice on a small stool.  If he takes a pitch and it misses the medicine ball he knows he made the right decision.  I guess it's helped him to learn the strike zone better.    Appears to be working since Santander already has 23 walks through may which ties his season high career best.
