Jason Heyward was almost my April player to watch. The peripherals looked so good, but I got gun shy. Plus, as I was digging into the numbers Kyle Schwarber’s hot start looked a lot more defensible, and so I decided to just keep an eye on Heyward.
Well, since coming off the disabled list on May 18 Heyward has been on fire. And it’s a lot more than just a few key hits, but I’m sure no one will mind if I start with a couple of web gems. I’m not sure what is more impressive honestly, the walkoff grand slam Heyward hit against Adam Morgan or the RBI single he roped off of Josh Hader to tie the game against the Brewers Monday night.
