ANAHEIM — On the day that Anthony Rendon marked 10 years of major league service, Rendon discussed what he isn’t and Phil Nevin talked about what he’s become.
Rendon earned the nickname Tony Two Bags for his ability to hit doubles, but he has shown more power than this. He hit 20 homers five times with the Washington Nationals, including a career-high 34 in 2019, the season before he signed a seven-year, $245-million deal with the Angels. “That affected his swing for a little bit and I think even when he got healthy, you build habits, and I think it took a little bit to get out of those,” Nevin said. “I loved when he threw his hands in and hit the home run the other day. I think that’s coming. I think I’ve seen some more aggressive, stronger swings, but situationally, I’m not sure there’s a better hitter in the game than Anthony Rendon.
