Daily News | Why new Phillies star Trea Turner isn’t concerned about the WBC disrupting his spring training
in Arizona in early March. That leaves him 2½ weeks to get to know his new teammates, coaches and manager Rob Thomson, and to become familiar with profound MLB rule changes that will affect everybody but especially a shortstop with track-star speed.
But not from Turner. As the 29-year-old All-Star sees it, MLB’s new normal will make certain aspects of the game less complicated and amplify his skills in other areas . Some players may need six weeks of spring training to study up, but Turner isn’t concerned about having to learn on the fly. With the shift outlawed, teams must keep two infielders on either side of second base. Good positioning will remain essential. But Turner won’t have to spend time this spring learning whether infield coach Bobby Dickerson wants him to stay at shortstop or move to shallow right field against certain left-handed hitters.
“Running the bases and the pickoff stuff is a little weird. But that’s kind of more on me to individualize, in general,” Turner said. “As far as the game strategy, it’s kind of back to the old days. We’re baseball players. We need to play the game. It’s not so much analytical.”
