One of the reasons that Justin Upton has hit for so much power this season is that pitchers haven't attacked him on the inside.
"It's the strangest thing," a National League general manager said. "That's the way you get him out and teams aren't challenging him. They're letting him extend those hands and he'll hurt you that way."
Upton is hitting .278/.375/.657 with 12 home runs and 21 RBI in 30 games.
