Jason Heyward is an award winning defense player who played for the Atlanta Braves in 2014. We now look at Jason Heyward.

Jason Heyward was an award winning defender who played for the Atlanta Braves in 2014. He was really good with the Braves. His best season was when he was in the 20-20 club. He hit 27 home runs and stole more than 20 bases! Although he is a good hitter, he is an even better defender. He doesn’t make errors, he also makes diving catches, and has a great arm. He is able to throw out runners who are trying to score on him. All of this skills helped him earn the overall Wilson Defensive Player of the Year award in 2014.

A tragedy happened in 2012. Just like what happed to Giancarlo Stanton in 2014, Jason got hit in the face and broke his jaw! That is why he wears an extra-big helmet when he comes up to bat. Although he is most known for his defensive skills, Jason does swing the bat well. He doesn’t have the power he used to have though. His speed has gotten better and is stealing more. In the offseason of 2014, there was a rumor that the St. Louis Cardinals had traded two players for Jason Heyward. The rumor turned out to be true. Many people were confused. Jason Heyward was really good with the Braves and the Braves really only got Shelby Miller. The MLB network analysts found out that the Cardinals needed a new right fielder to replace Oscar Tavares who died about a month earlier. As you can see, Jason Heyward is really good.
