Wilhelmsen does have to challenge. No doubts there GL. :daps:

By "nibbling" we're talking about being afraid of the zone, being passive, throwing pitches that can't really be hit and hoping that the batters and/or ump bail you out when you don't deserve it.
By "expanding the zone" we're talking about catching hitters when they are cheating way too much, and punishing their overeager swings by giving them less to hit.

A nibbler sees the hitter relaxed and passive up there, and picks at the corner anyway, because he knows he can't win a fair fight.
Alexi Ogando, throwing 97-99, starts with an offspeed pitch as if it's a 85 left jab (the can opener) setting up the 98 right cross (the spoon).
