PEORIA, Ariz. -- Suffice it to say, Ryan Schimpf will never be known for his batting average.
Among the 2016 numbers on the back of Schimpf's baseball card, some jump out as impressive and others are downright incredible. But his batting average -- which hovered around .220 and settled at .217 -- isn't going to turn any heads.
"Everybody would love to hit .300," Schimpf said after Thursday's workout at the Peoria Sports Complex. "Who wouldn't?"
Fair point, but Schimpf isn't about to sacrifice the other aspects of his skill set to achieve that goal.
