Wallach, 31, has a .314 batting average and a .933 OPS this season, after hitting .198 with a .561 OPS in his six previous major-league seasons.
BALTIMORE — As is often the case when a hitter finds a new level, the explanation is easier than the execution.
Wallach said that simple fix is something that “every coach has said,” but it’s not until this year that he’s finally found the right mechanical tweaks to put it into action. He began the season with a .361 average and .998 OPS at Triple-A. “He’s one of the best defenders in baseball,” Nevin said. “He handles pitchers well, runs our pitching meetings in there like you have another coach. He understands what hitters are doing.”, which was his first game back after spending a week on the concussion injured list.
