Seiya Suzuki's four-hit game Tuesday is the type of hitter the Chicago Cubs believe he can tap into more frequently than they’ve seen since he made his big-league debut last season.
Suzuki followed his great game Tuesday with a first-inning single Wednesday off Nationals starter Trevor Williams. Suzuki’s pregame routine is usually tweaked to account for the type of starting pitcher he’s facing that day. If it’s a four-seam fastball dominant arm, he incorporates high-tee drill, or a sinker baller will cause him to focus on trying to stay inside the baseball and drive it to right-center in the cage.
Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki singles in the first inning against the Nationals on Wednesday at Wrigley Field. Manager David Ross has seen Suzuki learning the value of coming to the ballpark and having a daily routine independent of whatever type of starter he’s facing that day. “Being around Dansby and Happer and some of these guys that come in every single day and do what they do best and then form their plan of attack rather than adjusting to who’s on the mound,” Ross said Wednesday. “It creates the most consistency. That’s something he’s transitioning to as of late and that’s really going to help him.
Suzuki doesn’t feel he is putting too much pressure on himself, but he also made clear he expects better production. He hopes something clicked for him Tuesday, crediting how well he was able to see the ball.[Don't miss] How Chicago Cubs top pick Matt Shaw was helped by the Cape Cod League and a former Red Sox World Series champ“I feel like I haven’t really played up to my expectations yet,” Suzuki said. “So I can’t really say that I’m playing really bad, I’ve just been really inconsistent.
