In this bonus interview segment, new Keys hitting coach Tom Eller (@CoachTomEller) takes us through the Shorebirds' plate mindset during the 2019 first half division title run, compares the challenges in hitting at Delmarva vs. Aberdeen and their various road destinations, and breaks down the Orioles' bat-heavy 2020 draft class.
