A's Bet on JKG at Leadoff | MLB News
Description
The Oakland A’s are turning to Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, or JKG, to ignite their offense at leadoff after a string of shaky experiments. Just promoted and already hitting .500 in his first 30 at-bats, JKG’s on-base prowess could set up power hitters Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz for big runs. While speed isn’t his strength, consistency and getting on base are exactly what the A’s need to unlock their lineup’s potential. If he keeps swinging hot, this move could be the spark they’ve been missing — and if not, they’ve got backups like Lawrence Butler ready to step in.
