Joseph digs into numbers to improve hitting
Tommy Joseph launches a deep double off the base of the wall in right and Odubel Herrera comes in to score to tie the game in the 3rdBut Joseph will take nothing for granted, which is why he is working on everything from his swing to his defense to his knowledge of numbers. After all, he is a little more than a year removed from being outrighted from the 40-man roster. And just last spring, Joseph spent Spring Training at the Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Fla., with the organization's Minor Leaguers.
"The job is not given to me," Joseph said last week. "I still have to win it. I'm not going to walk in and have it."
