The dugout really lacks fire as far I can see. I think we could use a team leader. You would think Trout but its not part of his makeup. Rendon would be an ideal candidate if he played regularly. Cant really think of any player.
Or is this role overvalued? Just thinking out loud.

Who takes the hit if a WBC player is injured in the course of playing/practicing for their team?  It seems like a great risk for teams who allow this. Maybe some type of league insurance?

Dont't know if this idea has been has been brought up before but could this be some sort of depth perception/ visual problem? Maybe just so slight that most of the time he can follow the flight of the ball successfully. However under certain circumstances like light, shadows and angles could come into play. Maybe a series of eye exams would turn up something. Grasping at straws here. It just seems unbelievable that an MLB outfielder who has gotten to this level could have these difficulties.

Lets get back to some rational thinking.

Its a silly way to determine a homerun.  Half the time they have to use instant replay when the ball impacts close to the line because the umpires cant. Just clearing the fence or wall makes for a better moment versus a thud and bounce back and then wait 30 seconds for a decision. Homerun interruptus. Just trying to engage a bit during this wait.
