Red Sox simulated Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler, still got dominated
Original: Red Sox spent weeks facing robot Cam Schlittler, then he ‘dominated every pitch’ in real life | Chris Cotillo
The Red Sox reportedly spent weeks using a pitching machine to simulate facing Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler, yet the right-hander dominated them in real life, with reports saying he 'dominated every pitch'. The episode highlights how difficult the hard-throwing rookie has been to hit, and how little elite velocity and stuff can be replicated in batting practice. Analysts see Schlittler as one of the most imposing young arms in the American League.
Why now: A heavily scouted, machine-simulated pitcher still overpowered the Red Sox, underlining Schlittler's rapid rise as a breakout rookie.
