What did they do with directional hitting? I'm not able to watch right now. Can you still use it as timing hitting if you don't choose a direction. If you can't I'm pretty disappointed because that's all I used. That'd be a game breaker for me.

Yeah, I guess I didn't realize how much work a team has to do in the last 6 weeks or so.

There are quite a few pitchers and some position players that have all star as a mitt type. Not just catchers.
