Trammell displayed power in Triple-A with 21 home runs and 20 doubles, but this did not translate to the majors where he only hit three home runs in 22 games, leading to a lack of recognition for his power profile.
Trammell emphasizes a new focus on getting on base and utilizing his speed for stolen bases, with a heightened awareness of the advantage speedy players have under the new rules limiting pickoff throws, evident in his increased on-base percentage during spring training.
Pitchers are getting tired. Say hypothetically I lead off an inning, get on base, and I worked a 4-pitch walk. I get on base. He's gassed. The guy on deck is coming in. Then first pitch, I take off. That makes his job a whole lot easier.
