The Hunter Pence signing got everyone’s attention. He’s an Arlington native, three-time All-Star, World Series Champion, and one of the more charismatic guys in all of Major League Baseball. But most everyone knew those things. What they didn’t know was whether or not he could still be a productive big leaguer. The Texas Rangers are seeing positive results to that concern.
Pence has 30 at-bats so far this spring, second most to infielder Patrick Wisdom. In those 30 at-bats he’s slashing .400/.486/.833 with three home runs and nine runs scored. He’s 5-for-6 over his last two games with two homers, three runs, and two RBI.
