Robinson Cano's Second Half Surge

Yes, its that time of year again. Time for Robinson Cano's second half surge. His splits have been well documented but I'll repost them anyway. For his career his first half line is .287/.321/.433 while in the second half he has hit .327/.358/.527. This has been completely consistent throughout Cano's career as well. Why? We can only speculate but this year has so far been no exception to the rule. Cano had arguably the best first half numbers of his career this year with a line of .308/.341/.490. He seems to be getting ready for another torrid second half as well. Through the first few games he's hit .313/.353/.563. If Cano can repeat his huge second half surge, the Yankees are going to have another very formidable hitter in their lineup. How he does is going to be a major storyline as we head toward the stretch.

  • We have only seen the tip of the iceberg as far as how good this guy is going to be. A play he made in the Baltimore series this past week was jaw dropping and he made it look easy. And he is home grown just like Jeter, Posada and Melky as well as many of the pitchers in the organization just to name a few.
