Dodgers’ Justin Turner has officially become an elite third baseman

Last night, Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner had a 14-game hitting streak snapped but still owns a slash line of .390/.448/.537. Simply amazing. He hasn’t displayed the same power from last year, but he might be regaining it. In his ten games back from the DL, he has hit three home runs, which gives him four on the season. This is about the same time last year when he caught fire with the long ball.

After being a bench player during 2014 and part of 2015, JT has worked his way up into stardom in LA and is finally among the elite third basemen in all of baseball.
