SEATTLE — Stephen Vogt started doing something different on this road trip. And he started hitting.
So don’t expect to see the A’s catcher without batting gloves for a while.
“It’s definitely a strange feeling, but I’m going to roll with it,” Vogt said Wednesday.
Save for a few icy nights in the Midwest, Vogt hadn’t wore batting gloves in a game until Saturday, as part of the pink-tinged Mother’s Day uniform. He pinch hit and lined out hard to end the game, putting his average at .198, but he liked the feel of the gloves, and the line drive.
