Cleveland Indians: This is the season of Carlos Santana

Carlos Santana sat quietly in front of his locker, texting a friend. I stopped by but didn’t start with the question I really wanted to ask. I know enough about the Indians slugger that he’s a bit shy when it comes to talking about himself. So we talked about Jason Kipnis and Jose Ramirez, the two Tribe veterans who started slow this season. “I knew they’d hit,” said Santana. “They are good players. I know them. They are like family.” That became the theme of this conversation, Santana’s baseball family in Cleveland. Santana praised Ramirez and Kipnis for “helping the young players.” He talked about their defense in the infield. Early in the season, I spotted Santana having some long conversations with Ramirez in the corner of the locker room. “(It) helped even they were when not hitting,” said Santana. “I kept telling them it would come.” The Tribe has risen from the rubble of a 29-30 start and trailing the Minnesota Twins by 11.5 games on June 4. A big reason is the bats of Kipnis and Ramirez have awakened from their spring slumber. Santana knows how that feels because he has been a notoriously slow starter at the plate, not warming up until the weather does. From that 29-30 start, the Indians were 43-17 heading into Tuesday night’s game with Boston. In that span, Ramirez is batting .292 with 13 HR and 50 RBI. Kipnis is at .289 with 9 HR and 42 RBI. Santana entered Tuesday batting .286 (.938 OPS) with 26 HR and 71 RBI. His .408 on-base percentage is second-best in the American League. He is one of the few power hitters in the Majors with more walks (85) than strikeouts (71). Santana also became a U.S. citizen. He is more confident as a hitter and a leader on the team.
