Phillies Blame Missing Left‑Handed Batting Practice for Offense Issues

The Philadelphia Phillies attribute their offensive woes to a shortage of left‑handed batting practice, a problem only now partially addressed by new player Logan Mathieu.

The Phillies’ offense has faltered this season, especially against left‑handed pitching. A report from The Athletic cites the team’s lack of left‑handed batting practice as a key factor, with pitcher Logan Mathieu recently joining the squad to fill the void. Until now, left‑handed pitching practice was limited to coaching staff, leaving hitters ill‑prepared for left‑handed arms. cricket-info.homes
