"It felt good," Quinn said. "I wasn't really trying to do too much, just fortunate that it happened."
After driving in
"I was just trying to zero in on a pitch I could hit, find something over the plate and put a good swing on it," Quinn said. "I was fortunate to do that."
The third-round pick in 2016 entered Wednesday sweltering hot, batting .351 in his last 10 games and going 4-for-4 on Aug. 17 against Lancaster. The Birmingham, Alabama, native is hitting .309, which stands fourth on the circuit, with an .896 OPS in 310 at-bats for San Jose this season.
The third-year outfielder has tried to keep a steady approach this year, which has worked wonders for him.
"The Cal League has some good competition, some pretty good arms and you just try and go out there and compete," Quinn said. "You can't really take any at-bats off. I tried not to get too high or too low throughout the season. I tried to stay consistent throughout my routine and just hope it pays off throughout the season."
