and has an OBP of exactly .455? (!)
Sixty six at-bats and zero walks...you don't think that's going to
be exposed in regular season games?
I love that he's raking.
But didn't Bradley hit .450 in ST last year too?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah but Coach made a great point and I've heard others say the same thing: He's working the count in his favor a lot it seems and then crushing good pitches to hit. I'm not saying that will continue and surely pitchers will then try to get him fishing more, but if you're getting good pitches to hit, hammer them. He's not just hitting little singles through the left side. He's driving the hell out of the ball. And there's no reason to think he can't keep doing it with the 25+ pounds of strength he's put on.
