It’s easy to look at the guy with the glitzy offensive numbers and think he’s the most impactful player on the field. Seeing a guy go 4-for-4 or knock a dinger makes things happen in a tangible, visible sense and directly impacts the numbers on the scoreboard. There’s a reason the greatest players of all time are those with the most eye-popping numbers at the plate.
Baseball being the beautiful game that it is, though, there are so many little things you can do to help your team win. Do it long enough and you can climb the ranks of the best in your club’s history.
