It took 29 pitches for Isiah Kiner-Falefa to find the one he liked.
BALTIMORE — It took 29 pitches for Isiah Kiner-Falefa to find the one he liked, and his well-executed, relentless approach, which manager Aaron Boone called “one of the best at-bats of the season,” was rewarded.
“I haven’t been playing much, so I was just trying to see as many pitches as I can,” said Kiner-Falefa, who ended up seeing 36 pitches in five plate appearances. “And after the first at-bat, I felt pretty locked in for the whole day.” In the back-and-forth fight, Kiner-Falefa got two strikes against him and proceeded to foul off four pitches before he earned his way to first base.
