Brice Turang, a sophomore for the Milwaukee Brewers, gets off to a terrific start in the 2024 season. Last year, the left-handed hitting second baseman struggled offensively but established himself as one of the league’s greatest defenders. This season, he has continued to dominate defensively while also batting and swiping bases.
Brice Turang is currently leading the league in stolen bases.
Entering play on Tuesday, April 16 Brice Turang is leading the league in stolen bases with eight. The Brewers are just 15 games into their season, but so far the speedster is being aggressive on the base paths. Along with this he is also getting on base at a good clip that includes a .333 batting average.
This off-season the Milwaukee Brewers second baseman started using a new baseball bat.
One obvious change from 2023 to 2024 is that Brice Turang is using a different baseball bat. His current bat has a giant knob at the end that is referred to as a puck knob. This is an aid that hitters will use in order to get more control of their swing by changing the balance point closer to the bat’s handle.
A blunder with the mail service led to Brice Turang changing bats this off-season.
Brice Turang was the featured guest on The Mayors Office, where he discussed a variety of issues, including the puck knob, his batting philosophy, stealing bases, and how Christian Yelich has taken him in. Turang mentioned that after last season, his bats went lost in the mail. As a result, when he wanted to start hitting, he had to borrow a friend’s puck knob, which is how he came to appreciate it.
