Trae Turner has earned comeback player of the year in a single season

For a long time we heard about how hitters were using uppercut swings. But Turner is most effective when he is "flat through the zone." I think that the abolition of the shift has encouraged hitters to go back to level swings because, as long as the shift existed, the only way a pull hitter could succeed was by hitting home runs. But upper-cut swings also frequently result in strikeouts. So the abolition of the shift means that we see fewer strike outs and more balls in play -- and a better game.

Turner is on 🔥. PHI in the playoffs is still a dangerous team.

definitely going to be an extreme moment in the show 24

It’s insane the season he is having at this moment in time. 24 homers with 26 stolen bases and zero caught stealing. He is best suited at second base long term for his defense is a mess at short.. but kudos to him for turning around an atrocious season.

I never understood why players dont swing it thr first pitch. Its almost always right down the middle.
