Cody Ransom enjoying breakout season with Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Cody Ransom is enjoying a breakout season with a career high four home runs, 12 RBI and a baffling .317 batting average in 13 games.
What’s also baffling is that Ransom is a 36-year-old and is in his 10th Major League season. In fact, the year that Ransom had the most at-bats was in 2009 with the World Series winning New York Yankees when in 79 at-bats he hit .190.
Arizona manager Gibson said in his pre-game press conference that the Mesa, AZ native’s comfort level and his ability to stay in top physical shape has lead to his breakout.
“He’s much more comfortable here, he’s got experience here,” Gibson said. “He’s comfortable around the guys and confident. If you look at his body over the years, he takes care of himself. He’s a very good athlete, actually. People don’t realize that. He’s gotten on a good roll, he’s seeing the ball well and has a good thing going on.”
Another thing about Ransom that makes him the player that he is today is the mentality of always wanting to improve.
“It tells you a little bit about him,” Gibson said. “He’s got a pretty good makeup. He likes the game as well. He doesn’t let the frustration get to him.
If he can continue this up, he may provide the same spark that Ryan Roberts did in 2011.
