    Starling Marte's precocious talent can sometimes get him in trouble at the plate.

    The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder can be in such a hurry to get on base, his bat tends to get ahead of itself.

    A well-timed piece of advice helped him break out of a slump on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants.

    Told by several teammates to wait a beat longer before swinging, Marte slapped a career-high four hits and scored four times as the Pirates pulled away for a 12-8 victory.
