SAN FRANCISCO — Scott Kingery hopped to his feet Thursday afternoon in the series finale at Dodger Stadium, and was brought back to batting practice.
This play — a long throw from deep in the hole at shortstop — was the type that Kingery asked infield coach Jose Flores to drill him with a day earlier after he short-armed a few long throws that reached first base on three hops.
The pair worked on Kingery’s timing — knowing when to rush and when to relax — as the natural second baseman adjusts to the longer throws at shortstop.
