SEATTLE -Manager Ron Washington had an opportunity to further the education of Jurickson Profar after the 19-year-old infielder swung at and missed a fastball on a hit-and-run play Friday that resulted in Craig Gentry being thrown out at second.
Washington said Profar picked up the sign fine, but had anticipated a fastball in a certain location and adjusted his swing approach. Washington reminded him that when the hit-and-run is on, the approach must change to making contact first with no anticipation of a pitch location.
?I felt if we could do something other than just a sac bunt, we could find a hole and make something happen,? said Washington, who also expressed no concerns about putting on the hit-and-run with such a young player. ?I felt he could make contact. I feel like those are the kinds of things you [ital.] should [end] be able to do when you are breaking in.?
Profar has struggled while being used infrequently. Since homering in his first major league at-bat and having two hits in his first game, he is just 1-for-13 over a span of three weeks.
