Sometimes it feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD to be wrong!
I never, EVER thought the kid could do with the bat what I'm seeing him doing; putting up quality at bats and hitting the ball HARD, frequently.
I saw him as a below .200 hitter with NO hope of hitting even .250!
No one commented on his single last night, but I will.
Pitch up and away and INSTEAD of rolling over on the pitch and hitting a weak ground ball to the left side, he DROVE it hard, to the right side.
Never going to hit .300... but he's impressed me over the last 40+ games.
Really impressed me even more because NOW, he's NOT starting every game and he's STILL throwing out quality at bats.
Wrong and darned glad of it!
