Trea Turner Could Return To Leadoff Role
Trea Turner their leadoff hitter, although manager Rob Thomson won't make a final decision on the batting order until the end of spring training. "As long as he's got the mindset of getting on base – and I think he does – being in the leadoff spot could help that a little bit," Thomson said. Turner has hit second 234 times in his two seasons in Philly, compared to just 38 times as the leadoff man. However, the 31-year-old could move to leadoff in 2025, dropping Kyle Schwarber to cleanup. It could make Turner more selective, which would be a good thing, as he has chased more pitches (34.7%) with the Phils than he did in his first eight seasons (27.4%). A move to leadoff should boost Turner's steals and runs scored for fantasy managers.
