But Fields is also learning how to identify drive-sustaining completions and, in some cases, shrewd throwaways.
“That’s been a theme with our losses,” Murphy says. “We seem to be a little bit fragile. Instead of picking each other up and a mistake on a goal or a shift where they’re on us, we don’t seem to be responding very well.

“Guys are really starting to learn the strike zone, not chase, and if you’re living by the home run all the time and not being able to produce runs, it’s not conducive to winning baseball,” Menechino said. “When the weather warms up and guys start getting a sweat and start feeling better, the goal is always in the beginning of the season to get as many hits as you can, manufacture runs. The home runs will come just by plate discipline and attacking our sweet spot.”
