Schwarber on game-winning HR off tough closer Iglesias:
"I was actually trying to single up the middle. Got under it a little bit. …
"That's something you always want to check off your bucket list."#BasketShotBucketList

In 2018, Kyle Schwarber had a 23% oppo rate with 2 homers and a .477 SLG when going the other way. He entered tonight with a 28.4 oppo rate, with 7 homers and an .803 SLG the other way.
His walkoff tonight — his first walkoff of any kind — was an oppo blast to the basket.

I should say: Underwood has been up to 97 as a reliever in previous outings. But it’s my experience in watching him that the success with him specifically isn’t tied to velo, it’s tied to finding hitters that bite on the change.
