Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols ready to shatter pitchers – MLB News
The Los Angeles Angels star slugger Albert Pujols is looking in great shape this season. He is sending shock waves to all the pitchers with his comments in the media before the start of the 2012 Major League Baseball season.
Many admirers of Pujols also lately commenting in the media explaining why he is an established and designated hitter who can hit the ball really hard leaving all the pitchers thinking as how can anyone hit the ball with that force.
“The guy could hit a fastball," Colorado Rockies' Manager Jim Tracy said, "How aggressive are you going to be with the guy in front of [Pujols] knowing that if you lose him, you have to deal with Albert with runners on base? I've seen enough of that to tell you that's the case."
Later, Angels’ ace Jered Weaver said for Pujols, “There's a handful of hitters who you're going to be intimidated by when they come to the plate; you're going to feel them, And he's definitely one of those guys.”
This is true that Pujols possesses enormous amount of energy and whenever he hits the ball, the pitchers always see a magical touch in his game. An eleven-year veteran, Pujols’ certainly possesses the qualities one slugger should have. While his tremendous temperament and over the years practice has made him perfect in his skills.
The kind of player he has become with the short period of time is also an exceptional thing for any slugger. His career .328 hitting average along with 445 home runs, 1329 RBIs and .420 OBP certainly tells all as how great his game is. Last year, some say that Pujols batting alone was the difference in the World Series against the Texas Rangers. His batting proved fortunate enough for the St. Louis Cardinals who ultimately lifted the title with great pride.
Now he is a permanent member of the Angels roster. His presence in the team is already giving great hope to the Angels. This has predicted in the media that in the next season, Pujols will be the real difference if the Angels qualified into the post season.
