JASON HEYWARD RUMORS
Jason Heyward Needs to Become What the Atlanta Braves Expected
Jason Heyward is an extremely well liked Atlanta Braves player. I can’t think of any fans or teammates who don’t want him to succeed. He came into the league (as many do) like wildfire. A power left-handed bat who also had the ball-strike eye of a hawk, a speedster on the bases, and a cannon-like arm and ability to track balls anywhere in right field. He was...

Heyward, Sophomore Slumps, and Old Friends
Understatement: Jason Heyward‘s 2011 season did not go quite as most of us expected. His (seemingly) long-awaited 2010 rookie campaign at age 20 mostly lived up to the hype, but he followed up with stereotypical “sophomore slump” season that was marred by nagging injuries, benchings, but most of all, poor hitting (relative to expectations, at least). Now 22, Heyward...

Heyward, Braves improving situational hitting
Jason Heyward smiles when he thinks back to one particular at-bat on Sunday. Its a memory he doesnt mind reliving.
The Braves and Cardinals were scoreless when Heyward came to the plate in the third inning with the bases full of his teammates. There were two outs, so he expected St. Louis starter Lance Lynn to put the ball over the plate.
I knew he had to come to me, Heyward said...

Cardinals suffer sweep from Atlanta

The Return of a Generational Superstar: Jason Heyward is Back
When I woke up this morning I got an e-mail about my Jason Heyward Baseball-Reference page sponsorship expiring in 20 days.
In a year’s time, it seems like I was barely able to take solace in my own epitaph written on that page:
Every once in a while, we who follow the game of baseball are blessed with a generational talent of that era. This is that player.
And I could be wrong...

Jason Heyward finally feeling comfortable
His stride was short and his head stayed down as his eyes followed the pitch toward the plate.
Jason Heyward extended his long arms, starting his picturesque swing, and propelled his bat through the strike zone at precisely the right time.
The bat met the ball at the perfect place and sent it flying toward left-center field, too far for any outfielder to track down.
It bounced...

CLIMBING THE WALLS
Jason Heyward robs spring training home run
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jason Heyward is only 22 years old, but he’s a grown-a$$ man. At 6’5″ 240 pounds, he’s an absolute beast of a behemoth on the baseball field. There aren’t many NFL tight ends that could go back on a fly ball and display the ridiculous hand-eye coordination that Heyward did today when he robbed a home run from the Yankees&rsquo...

Atlanta Braves: 3 Up and 3 Down
The Atlanta Braves are eager to get the 2012 season started and put the memories of their historic collapse last September behind them for good. The Braves held an 8.5 game lead over St. Louis as late as September 6th, and watched as that lead evaporated over the season’s final few weeks.
Atlanta went 8-18 in the month of September, and lost their final six games of the season...
