This makes little sense to me, but what do I know….

He’ll leg out an infield hit, steal second and then get picked off. Or he’ll make a spectacular diving catch and in the same inning hit the cutoff man on seven hops. I like his spark, but sometimes the electricity can zap the wrong things.

Hasn’t hit, as in hasn’t been productive. I’m aware of his statistics.

Also, i’m not sure he’ll ever got on base in the majors…
