Buddin rated most improved for Red Sox in 1959 season
Don Buddin, Boston shortstop, is hailed as the Red Sox's most improved player due to a heavier bat and better attitude. He sits among AL leaders with a .333 average, and manager Billy Jurges notes the open date and postponed Washington doubleheader help the pitching staff heal. Buddin credits Rudy York for guiding his bat change and cites his increased on base ability, solid defense, and steady play as reasons for the upbeat assessment.
