After what was probably a late night for most of us, what with Mother Nature deciding to rain on our banner raising and game, let’s take a look at a few items of note this afternoon.
Heyward at the Plate
Much has been made about Jason Heyward‘s struggles at the plate last year, and toward the end of the year, it seemed like you knew the outcome of just about every single plate appearance: groundout, 4-3, with the occasional 3 unassisted. A look at his spray chart for 2016 shows us that this wasn’t all in our heads; it hard to discern any individual ground ball out to the right side of the infield.
