There’s more first base than you might think — take it from Patrick Wisdom, Mike Napoli

CINCINNATI – As Patrick Wisdom took reps at first base before a game this weekend at Great American Ballpark, first base coach Mike Napoli stood next to him, watching his footwork as Christopher Morel and Zach McKinstry threw across the diamond.

“I believe in my athletic ability and being able to be put in any spot and do well,” Wisdom told the Sun-Times. “And so I think just trusting that, trusting my baseball awareness to put me in a good position right now, and just keep building on those.”

Wisdom has proven the kind of power he can add to the Cubs’ lineup.
