In one standout game, he achieved a .400 batting average along with an OPS of 1.4, including hitting a home run that significantly contributed to his team's performance.


The Athletics also have Jeffrey "JJ" Bleday, whose recent .333 batting average and 1.833 OPS in one game demonstrate his capability to impact the game significantly from outfield positions.
