I have a question about Alexi Casilla?

Question

ok so when he wasn't injured he was very patient and working the count and almost every game he has a hit but now it seems like hes just swinging at anything will he get his patience back?

Answer 1

He might feel he needs to prove himself again, or he's just being impatient.

I'm sure he'll be fine with some more playing time & some practice though :)

Answer 2

Hopefully.  Twins are also seeing this problem with Carlos Gomez.  I believe Casilla has improved quite a bit from last year, and hopefully he will continue to improve.  Just look at this line-up for the Twins:  Gomez, Casilla, Span, Punto; four of the faster guys in baseball.  Maybe if Casilla can bunt for a couple of base hits it will regain his confidence making him a more effective hitter and raise his on-base-percentage.

Answer 3

He is young they need to work with him. He is talented he just needs to work with the hitting coach that is all.

Answer 4

Yes he will get it back.  He just came back and he played the Angels a very hard team.
