Anticipation. Austin Riley probably doesn’t get to this ball without a hop prior to the swing. Just awesome 👏 @TroskyBaseball

Anticipation is good and if a hop is what you need to be ready move fine, but you cannot be in the air at contact. Being in the air and a wide landing that immediately has to reset to narrow in order to move left makes this a much slower reaction time than it should be.
