What is this? An article about Joey Gallo, but not about his bat? It’s about time someone talks about what he is doing on the defensive side of the ball. Yes, he’s been swinging a hot bat since the All-Star break, but he’s also fielding with a hot glove and throwing with a hot arm. Gallo has been dominating in the Texas Rangers outfield.
His defensive situation is quite comical when you think about it. The Rangers initially moved Gallo to the outfield to make room for Ronald Guzman at first base. Guzman was called up to the big leagues on April 13th.
