Hunter Pence to Bat Second?

by Kori Ellis on March 25th, 2008

Coming into spring training, it appeared as if Hunter Pence would be batting sixth in the Houston Astros’ lineup. After an impressive spring training, it appears as if Pence may find himself batting second permanently.

“He’s just an exciting player, and you want him to bat as many times as you can,” Astros manager Cecil Cooper told the Houston Chronicle. “If he’s down sixth, it would probably keep him from hitting one extra time. You want your best guys right up top. Hunter’s just a guy that sees it and hits it.”

Pence has continued his impressive play during spring training as he’s leading the Astros in at-bats (54), hits (19) and RBI’s (13). Pence also has five doubles, a triple and three homeruns.
