While it might be a lot to ask of a player who is trying to find his place on the Miami Marlins roster, but the organization hopes Peter O’Brien can be the slugger the middle of the batting order needs. This past weekend, he showed with one swing of the bat, he can change the outcome of a game.
At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, O’Brien looks like the typical Paul Bunyan-type of hitter. On Sunday, in a 5-2 win over the Atlanta Braves, the right fielder accounted for all of the team’s runs with a grand slam and another RBI to propel the team to victory.
