It was something that hadn’t been seen since March 8 in Peoria, Ariz., when the 2019 season was still filled with the promise of a bounce-back season.
For the first time since diving and awkwardly rolling over on his glove hand and suffering a hand injury that would require surgery, people saw Kyle Seager on a baseball field taking ground balls at third base.
With infield coach Perry Hill hitting them and Yusei Kikuchi’s interpreter Justin Novak catching the throws at first base, Seager took about 15 minutes worth of ground balls. With his still trimmed-down body, Seager didn’t look like he had been out since March.
