stadiumreport.bbn April 10th, 2021
Omar Vega(23, 3/3.5*) came rolling into today's game against the
Arizona Diamondbacks with a 20-game hitting string dating back to last season, but he left it on the field at Chase Field.
The 23-year-old
Las Vegas Gamblers catcher went 0-for-4 against the
Diamondbacks as the
Gamblers fell, 7-2.
"I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all."
During his rookie season in 2020, he hit -274-10-37 .742OPS 0.3WAR in 64 games.
