Dalton Pompey is going from underdog to unlikely in left field for the 2016 Toronto Blue Jays.
After an up-and-down 2015 season, it seemed that Pompey had to primarily focus on his offensive game to resurface at the major league level. Especially given his prowess on the base paths and his very strong defensive profile.
Not the case.
Speaking with Scott MacArthur or TSN, manager John Gibbons expressed that Pompey’s work in the field still has room for improvement.
“He’s still a work in progress there,” said Gibbons. “He’s got tremendous range out there but it’s something he’s got to keep working on.
