One of the few early season offensive stars for the Phillies thus far in the early stages of the 2015 season has been the 2nd year third baseman, Cody Asche.
After last night’s game, Asche sports a very nice .500/.571/.667 slash line with 1 HR and 2 RBI. Even though it is a small sample size, the numbers are encouraging because of how he has arrived at them. So far this year, Asche has gone 8 for 20 (.400 AVG) against right-handed pitchers, and he’s a perfect 4 for 4 against lefties.
Mind you, as I stated before, this is an extremely small sample size, but the fact that he is hitting lefties like this is encouraging.
