Brewers shortstop Jean Segura has gotten off to a hot start with the bat this season as he entered Saturday's game against the Cardinals batting .429 with a .679 slugging percentage.
After batting .258 in 45 games in the majors last season, the 23-year-old told MLB.com he came into the campaign with high expectations.
"I just wanted to get better," he said. "Maybe get my average up near the top."
Along with Segura playing solid defense, manager Ron Roenicke said he has been impressed with Segura's offense.
"He's really played well for a long period of time going back to winter ball and spring training," Roenicke said. "He's got tremendous range and a great arm. He can make some plays that not too many guys can make. His defense is already great and offensively, he's just going to get better. We'll see, but we're happy with what we have so far."
