Kwan's Hit Streak Fuels Leadoff Spot Surprise
20 Jul
Summary
- Steven Kwan batted leadoff, going 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's loss.
- A single in the third inning extended Kwan's hit streak to six games.
- This marks a return to the leadoff spot after batting ninth recently.
Steven Kwan occupied the leadoff position, contributing two hits in four at-bats with one RBI during Sunday's 7-1 defeat against the Pirates. This placement followed a successful stretch, as Kwan's third-inning single extended his hitting streak to six consecutive games. During this period, he has achieved an impressive .524 batting average, with multiple doubles, RBI, and stolen bases, and three runs scored.
Previously batting ninth in the order for his last twelve games, Kwan's promotion to leadoff on Sunday was noteworthy. Manager Stephen Vogt's decision may have been influenced by Kwan's recent offensive productivity or a strategic preference for the veteran player at the top of the order when facing tough opposing pitchers.
