All you have to do is look at what he does against sliders. He isn't lunging for them anymore. He's only swinging at sliders that hang up and he's murdering them on occasion. He's worked hard and has turned into an extremely important part of the team offensively and defensively... he's growth has been a huge deal.
We just got a crash course on why outfield defense is so important
This- we need him on the bench for late inning D at least ...Yeah. Even though he’s an offensive downgrade if he can get healthy we need Ender. He’s not as good as he was but this defense is rough.
I think Ozzie has his OPS over .800 after today's game as well. He entered with it at .792, but I can't find an updated OPS after his hits today.
.799, he has tied the 2-strike Barry bonds, markakis
