Yasiel Puig either has superhuman strength that leads him to do things nobody else can, or the guy really needs to check his lumber before approaching the plate.
Puig was up in the top of the 7th inning of the Dodgers’ 9-3 loss to the Brewers Friday when he broke his bat on a check swing. A check swing. There wasn’t even a ball around to saw him off. No Mariano Rivera cutter on the hands. No Aroldis Chapman 104 mph fastball busting his bat. He broke his bat just by checking his swing.
Wood cannot handle Puig’s power. Look at the bat bend:
Ridiculous.
