If you have been following the Phillies the last few years, you know how frustrating Odubel Herrera can be. He has arguably been the team’s best player since being selected in the Rule 5 Draft in 2014. However, that has come with several mental gaffes that often earned him the ire of former manager Pete Mackanin.
Even with Gabe Kapler now aboard as the new manager, Herrera’s dichotomy struck yet again Monday night.
Herrera started the game off on a high note, hitting a first-inning home run off Atlanta’s Julio Teheran. It was a strong at-bat as Herrera worked a full count before hitting a 79 mph slider at 106.
