00:00Let's just look at the player, Luis Arise.
00:02So for those who are not familiar with him, this guy can hit.
00:06Now, he's not a power hitter by any means.
00:08In fact, he only has four home runs this year.
00:11Last year, he only had eight home runs.
00:13But he's a lifetime 318 hitter.
00:16Right now, he leads all of the major leagues with a batting average of 324.
00:21And if you are one of those people who hates that the Phillies are feast or famine,
00:26home run, or strikeout, he's the complete opposite.
00:29So far this season, he has only struck out 21 times.
00:33All of last year, in 154 games, 675 plate appearances, 21 strikeouts.
00:41That is unreal.
00:42Schwarber struck out over 21 times in the last three weeks.
00:45Yep, it's very much like Tony Gwintyke.
00:47He's going to put the ball in play.
00:49He could run the bases.
00:50He did have a cycle, if you remember, back against the Phillies.
00:54He actually hit for the cycle against the Phillies.
00:57I don't remember that.
00:57A lot of questions, and I'll get to them about the defensive thing.
01:00But as far as adding this guy to the lineup, it does get me excited because it's completely
01:06different from what this team has done in the past.
01:08They have not had someone that they could put at the top of the lineup that doesn't strike
01:13out, that gets on base, that hits for high average.
01:16I know Turner did it last year, but he's come back down to earth.
01:19You're getting a legitimate 300 hitter.
