Myles Straw is pure chaos.
This past Monday against the Royals, Straw collected three hits during the first game of a doubleheader. Three hits are always good, and always a feat to celebrate. For a player like Straw, not blessed with the power of a Franmil Reyes or José Ramírez, it takes a bit of extra finesse to make it happen.
Specifically, one of those hits was this infield single:
I saw this happen, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. First, it’s the fact that, off the bat, it looks like a pretty solid hit.
