A New Way to Run

Chris Duffy spent the winter re-learning how to run so he doesn't injure his hamstring again:

Tracy holds lofty expectations for Duffy, who has spent the better part of his off-season learning a new running style. The gist of it is that he's now firing his gluteus muscles, which he's done well to strengthen through various daily exercises and technique drills.

"I've really fine-tuned myself getting those little muscles strong and trying to fire a hamstring the way you're supposed to," Duffy said. "I'm probably in the best shape I've ever been in."

The Pirates hope Chris can repeat his .385 OBA over a full season. Given that his minor league OBA was .370, that may be a bit of a stretch, but even .360 would help the Pittsburgh offense.

Did he run like Jerry Lewis before?

Chris Duffy is a great player in the making, true talent with leadership skills. Future Johnny Damon and Steve Finley on defense. Gold Glover in the making.
