 More Orioles NewsOrioles LinksMatt Wieters is struggling to meet the expectations bestowed upon him in 2009. "He can't hit a good fastball right now," one talent evaluator told Buster Olney. "He's got a long swing, and he's having a terrible time with fastballs -- he's got to make the adjustment and shorten his swing. He needs a breaking ball or a mediocre fastball in order to get his hits. He's got power, but it's not game power. He probably could use more at-bats [in the minors] to help him change his swing. If I were managing him, I'd pick out matchups for him, and not start him against guys with good fastballs." |
