Rewind: Whatever the situation, A's rookie Healy keeps his cool

From the time he joined the A’s in mid-July, rookie third baseman Ryon Healy has managed to draw attention to himself.

In a good way.

He’s come through in clutch situations, as his .397 average from the seventh inning on would suggest. His 2-for-4 night in Wednesday’s 8-0 victory over the Royals lifted his average to .302 in 55 games since getting his first big league call-up. He’s done a nice job at third base, taking advantage of all the pregame tutelage that infield coach Ron Washington is willing to offer.

Healy carries himself like a veteran, and Wednesday night, he seemed to handle things well in a semi-heated moment.
