San Diego third baseman Cory Spangenberg is on fire right now. The 26-year-old has hit .423 over the last week, driving in nine runs on eleven hits. He has also homered on four occasions and has swiped two bases.
The rise of Spangenberg to where he is now is a little bit different. Sure, his strong play as of late is very encouraging, but it doesn’t come as a shock. The infielder has been waiting for an opportunity, and 2017 has provided him with this chance of a lifetime.
Nothing has gone conventionally for Spangenberg.
