JT Riddle didn’t do much of anything last winter.
He didn’t swing a bat. He didn’t throw a ball. He couldn’t even go bow hunting after the surgeons who repaired his injured left shoulder last August told him he was to avoid any physical activity that might cause further harm.
“Six months is a long time of not doing anything,” Riddle said.
The shortstop for the Marlins is only now making up for lost time.
After getting off to a slow start, Riddle is swinging a hot bat for the Marlins, going 16 for 40 (.
