Washington Nationals: Trea Turner ready to break through

For Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner, 2018 is a big season.

In his second year as the undisputed starting shortstop, we should see was his full potential is on both sides of the ball. Is this season the one where he steals 75 bases? Can he learn to relax and lay off pitches? Will Turner relax and focus on letting the game come to him instead of pressing?

Under the weight of high expectations following his legendary rookie campaign, sometimes Turner struggled. The timing of his biggest slump coming in October cast a shadow of what was a good year.
