Phillies notes: What’s behind Trea Turner’s defensive improvement, the Zack Wheeler rubber controversy and more
PHILADELPHIA — The noise around Trea Turner’s defense at shortstop has quieted in recent days.
It hasn’t been a great season defensively for Turner, who is second in MLB in errors with 18. But he has not made an error since July 27, and he believes an adjustment to his setup and a better rhythm are the key to his improvement.
“I feel like getting in rhythm, just having some routine ground balls and getting back in rhythm was part of it,” Turner said. “But I also feel like I kind of found out at least something that I think was kind of causing it. I just felt like I was setting up a little too early, kind of creating bad hops for myself. And then I think I had some tough plays where I expect myself to make them, but not necessarily easyily, and I feel like I just couldn’t get a routine ground ball to get back in a rhythm.”
