One of the little things that was lost when baseball, and all of sports, shut things down in March: Ian Happ’s torrid spring.
The outfielder was 13-for-27 with two home runs and 11 RBI in Cactus League games when the plug was pulled on his hot bat. It’s never a good time to cool off at the plate, but that was some tough timing for a player who, at 25, was hoping for a breakout season.
He still is, though, even if it’s of the two-plus-month variety.
“I feel great, my body feels great and it’s just a matter of getting reps in,” Happ said.
