What happened: Junior Caminero produced a pair of 110-mph batted balls in ALCS Game 4, following a deep fourth-inning flyout with a scorched line-drive double. After his initial 29-degree drive held up in the outfield, the slugger who hit his 37th homer in August leveled his swing in his next trip to put an 8-degree liner in play.

Why it matters: Consistent hard contact in the middle of the order drives postseason run production when ballpark conditions suppress fly-ball carry. Adjusting from an elevated launch angle to a line-drive approach mid-game keeps pressure on opposing pitching staffs deep in the Championship Series.

What to watch: The ALCS continues with a World Series berth on the line as opposing pitchers try to limit Caminero's hard-hit rate.
