Kudos to Sal. His HR rate has gone way up since his injury. Clearly he spent his time productively, rehabbing and getting functionally stronger. He is setting career highs for exit velocity and distance on a regular basis. He may be a legitimate power hitter now but that is not something that could have been said his entire career.
His Instagram posts while he was rehabbing and getting ready for 2020 were legendary. The dude works as hard as anyone. That, and the time away from working behind the plate, have given him a new offensive life. It's fun to watch.
