Baseball really is a strange game.
As you may recall, my (senior) son had an injury this year that limited him to DH. He played the first 5 games of the season and then suffered a different setback that had him miss 7 games. Comes back, plays 3 games and then has another (minor) injury that makes him miss another 4 games.
This is where it gets unbelievable.
He comes back after the last injury.
In the last 12 games of the season, these are his stats:
.429 Batting Average, .619 On Base Average, .929 Slugging Percentage and he hits 3 HR and drives in 19 runs over the 12 games.
The team wins all 12 games after he comes back and goes on to win their State Championship. And, he was one of the hitting stars in the championship game.
I know...sounds like total bullspit but it's true. What started out as the worst ever senior season (limited to DH and missing 11 of their first 19 games) turns into a storybook finish that he will remember forever.
An OPS of 1.548...in 42 PA over 12 games. I am still in amazement.
Never saw this coming even in my wildest dreams.
