It’s definitely a weakness of this piece.

You can look at every player in the league, and it’s true of 80 percent or more of them. Rizzo is actually impressive, and has remained so this spring, it seems to me, in that he pulls the ball in the air as often as he does.

I dunno, I’m not sure we’re seeing anything there.
