Josh Jung’s ongoing ability to produce steady offense has made him the offensive anchor for the Texas Rangers this season.
As a stabilizing force in the Rangers’ lineup, Jung has developed into an offensive catalyst. The 28 year-old is boasts a .312 batting average that is ranked second in the American League.
The Rangers’ walk-off win (7-6) on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, whose closer situation has continued to fall apart, demonstrated Jung as a solid offensive contributor.
He recorded two runs, three hits, an RBI and a home run. His incredible bounce-back season has had him sporting a solid 136 wRC+.
