ANAHEIM, Calif. -- When Ryon Healy steps into the batter's box Tuesday night at Angel Stadium, the Oakland Athletics third baseman will look like the same Ryon Healy who faced the Los Angeles Angels in the season-opening four-game series a few weeks back.
But looks can be deceiving.
The truth is, the Healy set to oppose Angels starting pitcher JC Ramirez on Tuesday is a completely different hitter from the one Los Angeles saw the first week in April.
Healy went 3-for-14 in the series against the Angels, including 0-for-2 against Ramirez when the right-hander was pitching out of the bullpen.
