A few weeks ago, it was cherry blossom season in Washington DC. Now it’s the turn of Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner to come back to life this spring.
After a slow start to the year, Turner was hitting just .203 on the 15th April. But with a high walk percentage and low BABIP, he was bound to turn things around.
Now over the last 15 games, he’s hitting a ridiculous .353 and more importantly, his on base percentage is .400. This has raised his season batting average to .282, much closer to what we expected at the start of the season.
