Jose Reyes has been popping up more than the Mets would like recently, so before yesterday’s game he took extra batting practice with hitting coach Dave Hudgens.
The result was a solo home run in the third inning while batting right handed.This was his first home run batting right handed all year. Reyes was also content with his long fly out to center field that reached the warning track in the seventh inning.
Reyes told the post NY Post
“From the right side I’m fine. That’s why the ball I hit lefty to center field felt very good. I made some adjustments there and hope to carry that into [tonight].”
Despite having a slow second-half start, Reyes leads the National League in hits with 142 and in batting average with .339.
Jessica, Be careful.The grammar in that last sentence might not pass the sniff test.This website is being taken over by goofballs who obsess on every word people write.They are to blogging what Murphy is to baserunning.Clueless and pathetic.
Thanks for catching that, Gary … it slipped by me but has now been corrected.
Reyes is human, apparently.
And, as with a no-hitter, there is always the “no Mets” curse. Having a Met win a batting title might annoy the gods.
