There’s no surefire formula for breaking a slump, but the A’s Ryon Healy might be on to something.
In two weeks, Healy has raised his batting average 136 points, to .279, after Sunday’s 2-for-4 effort.
How did he do it? His explanation sounds simple.
“Being able to slow my body down, slow my mind down and slow my eyes down,” he said, “to get me to swing at better pitches and give myself a better opportunity.”
Sunday’s 11-1 loss to the Mariners snapped the A’s winning streak at five games. Healy was in the middle of quite a bit of that five-game stretch of success.
