Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell has played his best baseball during the second half of the season, helping the Cubs surge to a 24-15 record since the All-Star break in mid-July. Since the All-Star break, he has slashed .267/.303/.422, bringing his overall batting average up to a respectable .241. Many people expected this turnaround to happen at some point for the supremely talented 21-year-old. However, the fact that Russell rebounded so dramatically in such a short amount of time between the last game of the first half of the season on July 12 and now deserves further explanation.
