Davey Martinez has talked since the start of Spring Training about trying to get more out of Trea Turner this season. He won’t likely get more out of Turner in terms of games played.
In fact, he said he probably should have given the 25-year-old shortstop, who played in all 162 games last season, starting 158, a few more days off in 2018.
He does think that there is still plenty of room for improvement in Turner’s game after a big season for the infielder, who put up a .271/.344/.416 line, a National League-high 43 stolen bases, in 52 attempts, career-highs in doubles (27), homers (19), runs scored (103), and RBIs (73), and 105 wRC+ over 740 plate appearances in a 4.
