Eugenio Suarez Continues Hot Spring On Friday
9 months agoArizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez continued his hot start to spring training Friday against the Chicago Cubs. He went 2-3 with two singles, a run, and an RBI during Friday's 7-5 spring victory over the Chicago Cubs. Suarez missed nearly a week of spring training due to side tightness and returned to action on Tuesday. Suarez is hitting .500 (5-for-10) with a home run and a 1.445 OPS in five games in spring training. The Diamondbacks acquired Suarez from the Seattle Mariners this offseason in exchange for Carlos Vargas and Seby Zavala. The 32-year-old will look to improve on his 2023 season in Seattle, in which he slashed .232/.323/.391 with 22 home runs, 96 RBI, 68 runs, and two stolen bases over 694 plate appearances. Suarez is a consistent source of power at the hot corner and should pop 20-plus homers (ATC projects 23) in 2024, making a late-round value at his current NFBC ADP of 275.
