So much of this game is mental, and he's got a lot of confidence now. He knows . At the relatively advanced age of 33, Prime Time may at last be a prime-time player. We don't know if it's a hot streak or if he's made an adjustment. I think it's a little of both.
Sanders still takes unorthodox routes in the outfield.
He still throws as if pitching to a team of Tee-ball players. He still walks too seldom for a legitimate leadoff hitter. Yet to deny his transformation in the batter's box is folly worth of the Flat Earth Society. Sanders is hitting the ball to all fields now, making better use of his superlative speed, and a lot of the balls he doesn't hit hard are finding holes. Deion in his HR trot.
