In this piece, we delve into punk rock, but let me briefly touch on baseball before diving deeper. My puzzlement lies in the longstanding tradition of placing your top hitter in the third spot in a baseball lineup. Though I can see why it’s done, I don’t completely agree with it. And it seems that Dave Roberts, manager of the recent World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, shares my sentiment. Roberts strategically positioned Shohei Ohtani as their leadoff hitter due to his exceptional hitting skills. By placing him first, you ensure he gets more opportunities to take swings at the ball.
