Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson has been back in the leadoff spot for 16 games, and he's getting very comfortable, reports the Detroit News. After going 0 for 9 in his first two games at leadoff, Jackson has hit .386 (22 of 57) with a .429 on-base percentage over his last 14 games.
He went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk in Sunday's 5-1 win.
"It really wasn’t something that was hard for me to do, just because I’ve been in that position before and it’s something about getting the offense started," Jackson told the paper. "You have a different mindset and you’re more aggressive. It’s a mental thing that I really enjoy."
