You know, he
does wear the uniform number "3"—so there's

Christopher Smith points out, in 11 games this month, Leon is hitting .313, with a .389 OBP, a .438 slugging percentage and an .826 OPS. Why? Apparently, he watched video from 2016 and has re-adjusted his stance accordingly. Said Leon,
"Try to just get everything simple. Try to lower my leg kick to see the pitch better. I feel like if I strike out or if I hit a flyball or whatever, I feel like I'm taking good pitches, good at-bats and swinging at strikes. So I feel good right now." So, when you see Sandy's name in the lineup, you don't have to groan—because he is once again,
"The Babe". And, he's
raking.
