Hot take or not, the Mariners 26-year-old, Heredia, has already opened a lot of eyes within the first week of spring training games. In seven matches so far he is 7-for-13, good for a .538 batting average with four doubles and a triple.
The Cuban native has struck out only one time with a walk, snagged a stolen base and has seven RBIs.
Yes, not only is it early, but it is against spring training competition. The point is, he is on fire and this is what we want to be seeing out of him. He’s seeing the ball well and getting on base.
