Jonathan Schoop 2022 Player Outlook: Enjoys Solid 2021 Season
3 years agoDetroit Tigers infielder Jonathan Schoop enjoyed another solid campaign in Detroit. After joining the Tigers prior to the 2020 season, 2021 marked the veteran's first full season in the Motor City. He responded by hitting .278 with a .320 on-base percentage, 22 home runs, and a pair of steals in 674 plate appearances. He also chipped in with 85 runs scored and 84 RBI. It was the second straight season Schoop has hit .278. If his track record is anything to go by, the veteran will have an excellent shot at topping 20 home runs. Dating back to 2016, Schoop has topped the 20 home run mark in each of his last five full seasons. The relatively high runs scored and RBI numbers should continue for the infielder, who should benefit from Javier Baez, Spencer Torkelson, and Riley Greene joining him in the Tigers' lineup. Per the NFBC, Schoop is currently being selected as the 23rd second-baseman off draft boards with an ADP of 196.61. However, it would surprise no one if he easily outperforms that draft position given his track record and the improved nature of the Tigers lineup.
