Brewers shortstop Jean Segura has gone 4 for 7 (.571) through the first two games with two of those hits going to the opposite field. The 23-year-old showed his power hitting the other way during spring training as he slugged a healthy .550 in 60 at-bats.
"It's natural," Segura told MLB.com. "I always seem to hit the ball the other way. Sometimes, I don't try to go over there, and it happens."
Manager Ron Roenicke said he's pleased with Segura's start to the season.
"The guys in the league that hit well for an average, that's where they hit," Roenicke said, referring to the opposite-field approach. "That keeps you on the offspeed stuff. I think if he's going to hit in this league and hit for a high average, he has to do that."
