Ian Desmond Leading Off On Monday
7 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder/first baseman Ian Desmond is penciled in to hit leadoff for the team on Monday. Desmond hasn't hit leadoff in a game since 2016, when he led off for the Rangers for three games. If asking why Desmond, a .188 hitter in 2018, is hitting leadoff, it's because he's triple-slashing .324/.405/.622 against lefties this season. With lefty Jon Lester on the mound, the move could pan out.
