My Take

What I love about Scooter Gennett is the unpredictability. For most of his career he was a steady, unassuming second baseman, and then on June 6, 2017 he became the 17th player in major league history to hit four home runs in a single game. That one night is the stuff of legend, and it fascinates me how the game can suddenly explode through a player nobody expected. At 178 cm he was never an imposing slugger, which makes that power surge all the more compelling. I have a soft spot for the underdog who breaks out, and Gennett's eruption is exactly the kind of baseball magic that keeps me hooked.
