Daily News | ‘Got to grind it out’: Phillies’ struggling Trea Turner turns to extra sessions with hitting coach Kevin Long
gathered to take batting practice on the field Friday at Citizens Bank Park, Trea Turner asked hitting coach Kevin Long to follow him into the indoor cage for more personalized instruction.Turner is in the midst of the worst season of his career. By far. At any level. It isn’t only that he was a .302/.355/.487 hitter entering this season after batting .310/.374/.451 in the minors. Machinelike consistency was his signature. He never batted below .271 or had an OPS lower than .760 in any season.
“It doesn’t surprise me, just because I know how passionate our fans are and how much they love this ballclub,” Thomson said. “I’ve said all along, I love them for it because they tell you when you’re playing well and when you’re not playing well. That’s what a fan base should do, really. But yeah, it doesn’t surprise me.”
“[It was] the farthest thing from my mind from how the last four or five seasons have been,” Turner said. “I think my worst season was 2018 [he batted .271], and I would take that year way over this year. I never really thought we’d be here, but we are.
