As a result, the Chicago White Sox designated hitter has found a variety of ways to do damage at the plate, according to senior director of baseball operations Dan Fabian.
“He’s hit with two strikes, he hit a 485-foot home run, he got an infield single,” Fabian, who oversees the Sox’s professional scouting efforts, said in a phone interview Saturday. “He’s gapped doubles. He’s flipped balls the opposite way.
“He’s put on a clinic on how to have the week that he’s had. You get a bunch of hits and drive in runs when it matters. It’s just been fun to watch.
