      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Baseball has always been a game of details. A slight flick of the wrist, a lower stance, or a step forward can change the outcome of an at-bat.

That craft, refined over years, set the best apart behind the plate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/mlb/mlb-how-the-abs-system-is-changing-the-game-for-elite-pitchers-f202604-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
