Ritter wins Gold Glove

Well deserved. He will be a big leaguer if he can be a little better at the plate.

I don't think it is a lack of ability at the plate as much as it is just the discipline. I keep harping on it, but when he shortens the swing he hits well and for a very good average. So, he's seeing the ball fine, but he has to have the discipline not to let his swing get big, because that is when he struggles.
 
He was awful at hitting during the season but working with hitting coaches in the minors will definitely help him.
