I don't put the blame on Dunn at all . . . I'm looking straight at Stephenson and Bell.
What is Tyler Stephenson's strength at the plate? . . . Going to the opposite field. He looked like he was trying to hit the ball to deep left field for a sacrifice fly or a Home Run.
I can almost guarantee that Bell told him during the time out while pinch running Dunn for Martini "Look for a pitch that you can drive." because Stephenson was yanking his head instead of waiting on the pitch and diving in.
Pitch one . . . a thigh high 90 mph slider right down the heart of the plate but slightly to the outside(perfect for taking it the other way) . . . Swung too early
Pitch two . . . a thigh high 88 mph slider on the outside edge of the plate(again, perfect for going the other way) pulled his left shoulder as he swung early again
Pitch three . . . thigh high 89 mph slider a couple of inches off of the plate . . . he ####ing pulled it to the third baseman. Translation: Swung too early.
That's what happens when you are looking for a pitch that you can drive but the other team isn't in Little League They pitched INTO Stephenson's strength but Bell outsmarted himself.
One out of five stars.
