Don't look now, but Ender Inciarte is becoming what some hoped he would be in the Miller trade. Namely a quality defensive CF with good to above average hitting (primarily OBP) and good to above average base running.
His CF has been quality all year...check
His base running has been acceptable all year...Kind of check (not on base enough)
But wait...
His hitting is getting better and better as the season progresses.
He is currently hitting 263/322/656 (not terrible but just average)...then you look at his splits.
Last 30 games 296/339/696 (this is exactly what we wanted)
Last 15 games 386/419/823 (unexpected all star type stats)
Last 7 games 464/464/964 (all world CF..none better (w/o power) in the majors)
a month is a really small sample size, but maybe injuries, pressure, new environment, just drag of a bad team may have effected him and now he has gotten it together.
