Carlos Correa and his hitting approach

Mark DeRosa had Astros shortstop Carlos Correa in Studio 21 to talk hitting and his approach on MLB Central.

[@dannypark69]

Correa's hitting approach: Wait for trashcan banging.

Exactly!!! I watch video in the dugout and then go to the plate and listen carefully!!

Update to his actual hitting approach: -get in your stance -relax in the box -listen for trash can

People love to hate him, because they know he is great. If he was a nobody, you'd never talk about it him. Thanks for reminding us Astros fan what a great player we have. GO STROS!

[@mike-0451]

@@rslwannabe9475 I guess the cubs, Tigers, Dodgers, Yankees, and Red Sox also plan on implementing a sign stealing system? Since they all want him, and as you say he always uses and needs the trash can, I guess that means almost every team in the league is prepared to start cheating just for him.

[@areligaming6263]

this video is from 2018 while they were in the midst of improving their sign stealing process. do they do it anymore? obviously not. all of their batting averages dropped especially in the playoffs after they got caught. he's a decent player, but he's not a great. never will be. nor will anyone else from this crew. they will always have this black mark over them. i'll be shocked if any of them make hall of fame voting after getting caught the way they did, and the lies they tried to cover it up with.

[@spidermonkey304]

And right before the pitchers throws...I wait for a bang from my dugout

[@FinanceAce-f4d]

Love his reaction to “Severino usually goes to his fastball on a 1-2 count, how were you able to sit on a fastball, did you know it was coming?”

[@dabeticchris]

“Are you a big video guy?” “I’m not, but our coaches watch a lot of video and pretty much let us know what’s coming. They’re great”

Wow you're ignorance doesn't even deserve the copy/paste response. Buzzer nonsense was at Altuve, Correa attacks are on the trash can. If you're gonna talk shit you should at least understand the subject matter lol

[@howard2031]

Correa makes some great points here: 1) keep your hands relaxed. 2) head down with loose hips. 3) listen for the trash can at home. 4) on the road, sense the feel of the buzzer against my skin. How Correa does this interview with a straight face knowing he's a cheater... No team should sign him in free agency... Make him stay in cheat town Houston.

[@d.m.g1886]

Bro what

[@ThekiBoran]

LOL!

[@d.m.g1886]

You clearly a Yankees fan

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

Nah this isn't Correra's approach. His approach is step up to the plate, listen for trash can bangs or feel for vibrations, step up to the plate, and get an illagitimate hit.

[@samuelsandate9804]

What Jealous of he's success? And no, the Astros don't cheat in 2019, and Correa still had a great season.

[@sc_row]

They should have added some trashcans in the demonstration.

Man I love Correa!

Do you still believe in Correa?

Hmm

[@maz5907]

Choose your words wisely Matt.

[@samuelsandate9804]

@ant The cheating only happen in 2017 and part of 2018, but por in 2019. And yes Correa is an All Star. Back in 2015 he won the AL Rookie of the year.

Cheating

[@manuellara5644]

Cheater. Knew what pitch was coming. Still has to hit it but it's a lot easier when you know what's coming....
