Jim Tracy Zone Quotations

He was fine. He was up in the zone early and pitched from behind more than I'd like, but he had good stuff.

He'll do his fair share of damage when it's all said and done. For him to change his approach and expand his strike zone would be wrong. It would do him no good.

I think he has a chance be a terrific offensive player. But part of becoming a great offensive player is having a full understanding of the strike zone and understand what pitchers try to do to him in certain situations. The only way you get to that point is you keep carrying the bat to the plate.

He threw a lot of strikes and worked very few deep counts. I didn't see impatient swings on our part. He just pounded the strike zone all night long.
