Not too long ago, Lucas Duda was the epitome of a one-dimensional player.
He didn't hit for average, he didn't hit left-handed pitchers, he didn't play good defense and he wasn't a good baserunner. But he did hit for plenty of power last year with 30 home runs and 92 RBI in his breakout season.
Through the first 45 games of 2015, he has been a completely different player. He has been hitting for a much higher average than he has throughout his previous five seasons—.294 through May 25—and he has also hit six home runs, which puts him on pace to hit more than 20 for the season.
