Have you seen Alex Rodrguez’ BA/OBA/SLG line from July 31st through August 28th? It’s .322/.440/.478 in 109 PA.
In the 14 games before this run, A-Rod’s BA/OBA/SLG mark was .193/.246/.333 (in 61 PA). Clearly, Alex is turning it on…let’s just hope he can keep it up for the next two months.
one thing that I noticed is that he shortened his swing a great deal recently. To me, it looks like he’s trying to raise his batting average (rather then trying to jack them out of the park like he usually does).
