Trea Turner had not hit leadoff since May 22, but on Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies shortstop’s name was penciled in at the top of Rob Thomson’s lineup card. Part of this was out of necessity.
shortstop’s name was penciled in at the top of Rob Thomson’s lineup card. Part of this was out of necessity. Kyle Schwarber, who normally bats leadoff, had played in all of the Phillies’ 114 games this season. But Thomson said it was also because Turner has been hitting better of late.
With that in mind, Stott visited infield coach Bobby Dickerson this offseason at his home in Mississippi. They worked on turning double plays, with a focus on how quickly Stott was transferring the ball and his footwork.“Well, most of his time was spent at shortstop last year, so he was making the transfer to second base, so the pivot is a little bit different,” Dickerson said.
A few innings later, in the seventh inning, Luis Arraez hit a double to right field. Nick Castellanos threw it to Stott, who made a great relay throw home to Stubbs in time to tag out Stallings at home.“Those were two really strong plays,” he said. “Real quick.”
