PITTSBURGH – Matt Joyce is capitalizing on the second chance he wasn’t sure he’d get.
Joyce admitted on Friday that his .174 average last season with the Angels caused him to wonder if his major league career might be over.
“Yeah, of course I did,” he said. “I know I was capable of having success at that level and being a good hitter, a good major league hitter, but last year was last year. It just wasn’t my year. There were some doubts for sure. It was a frustrating year. It was nice to get a fresh start this year.
