I feel like there is a misconception at times when it comes to what truly makes some baseball players special.
Sure, seeing someone launch a no doubter over the fence is special, and it’s something that should be celebrated, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. What makes a hitter special is the little things, stuff that can often get overlooked, especially scanning the box score at the end of the game.
That’s why I found it fun that the most intriguing of the three hits Endy Rodriguez picked up on Saturday wasn’t the home run, but the hit he picked up in the first inning.
