Arron Hill loves cycling and Arizona

A week and a half ago Arron Hill shocked the baseball world by hitting for the cycle as he went 4 for 4 and finished with his eighth homer of the season against the Mariners and the Visalia, CA native last night said this is no fluke as he ended his game against the Brewers needing a triple to do it again and he did it with ease with really no contest at third. He has become the first player in over 80 years to actually accomplish this feet and he did it in his first hour at bats and had in the bag by the end of the sixth inning. Kelly Johnson who was basically swapped late last season in a team optioned couple of seasons from the Jays in exchanged for Kelly Johnson and it has been a breath extremely fresh air as has hit .306 in 106 games with the Dimondbacks in just less than 400 at bats (122 for 399) after hitting .265 with Jays. The most surprising thing is that he has 7 triples in those 106 games and that is because in his 875 games as a Blue Jay he had only 9 triples so he is using a lot more speed on the bases in Arizona. He is also more patient at the plate as he has 37 walks with the Dimondbacks while he only had 23 walks last season with the Jays in 104 games. Arron's change has happened because of two things as it looks like the concussion situation in Toronto is in his rear view mirror and second the new environment in Arizona has allowed him to clear his head and allowed him to become a more x-base hitter. In the same amount of games he would be on pace for more doubles (44) than his best season in Toronto (37) and has become less concerned of the long ball and even though he would of had half the homers (19) compared to his best season with the Jays (36) but just short of his total bases in Toronto (340) with his triples and doubles (306). Arizona is very happy with their second baseman Tom Mehegan
