Devin Mesoraco

Mez is, by far, our biggest surprise so far. We’ve seen the usual outstanding defense from Mesoraco behind the plate, and the offense, that’s been the change of pace. We’ve always known that he could hit the ball hard, but the problem in the past was making contact. Good pitches have been thrown his way, and he’s providing a huge boost to the bottom of the lineup. His batting average currently stands at .471 (team leader) , 3 HR (tied for team lead), 3 2B (tied for team lead), and 7 RBI (2nd behind Bruce). Oh, by the way, he missed the first two series due to injury. He has 17 At-Bats while the rest of the every day starters average around 43.

A big question many are asking is, why isn’t he batting cleanup with all this production? One answer to that might be that when he’s low in the lineup, he sees a lot better pitches that have given him the opportunity to put up the numbers he has. Will this madness continue?
