Andrés Giménez is showing the kind of small adjustments that he needs to be a successful hitter in the majors.
When we look back on the 2021 season, plenty of “what ifs” will come up. What if the entire pitching staff wasn’t injured? What if any outfielder could hit before the trade deadline? What if James Karinchak could pitch without sticky stuff? What if Andrés Giménez didn’t bottom out immediately?
That last one is where I decided to focus some time into today. Giménez has a chance to be another case study in the value of going down to Triple-A to work out the kinks of a struggling player.
