It’s the hitters responsibility to avoid head contact. Obviously a hitter is aiming and trying to control where the point of contact is on the hittee.
And your right about a guy like Hamilton....just because he is 6’5 doesn’t give him the right to hit heads of anyone who is 6 feet.
There is lots I agree with you and others about this. He was just standing his ground, Aho was not protecting himself, and Gio was aiming for chest. But he got far more head than I thought at first, and to avoid that needed to aim the principle point of contact further away from his head.
It’s too bad, because I love some big hits. But I think based on the way it is now called, we may be without him for a game or 2.
