Andrew Knapp Goes Hitless From Leadoff Spot
6 years agoPerhaps for the first and last time in his career, Philadelphia Phillies catcher Andrew Knapp batted leadoff on Sunday afternoon, the first catcher in franchise history to do so. The decision came as starting second baseman and regular leadoff man Cesar Hernandez sat out another day as he nurses a foot injury. The 26-year-old has settled into a regular role behind the plate, sharing starting duties with Jorge Alfaro. On Sunday, he went hitless in four plate appearances, but it shouldn’t hurt his form. Following the performance, Knapp is still hitting a strong .311 over his last 15 games, driving in six runs along the way.
