Phillies takeaways: Stott's new approach, Walker's review, Duran's splitter

DENVER — Bryson Stott saw 17 pitches in Sunday’s loss to the Colorado Rockies, and he swung at eight of them. This is notable because Stott has swung at almost half of the pitches he’s seen this season, a very un-Stott-like approach at the plate. He’s developed a reputation as one of the league’s more passive hitters, someone who’s willing to take pitches early in the count, then hit with two strikes.Advertisement
