Editors Note: Would like to welcome the newest writer to the Marlin Maniac staff, Derek Jones. Jones will give the site a new perspective on his views of the Miami Marlins
One of the biggest story lines of the Marlins so far this young season has been the bat of shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. Hechavarria, known more for his extensive web-gem resume in the field, has stepped up his play at the plate this season as he holds a .321 batting average through twenty-two games.
After a cold start to the season, Hechavarria kicked off a huge hot-streak nine games into the season with a home-run in a 6-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.
