Justin Foscue Working Out At First Base In Camp
10 months agoTexas Rangers infielder Justin Foscue is focusing on first base in spring training this year. Foscue is blocked at second base by Marcus Semien, so the 24-year-old is working at first base in spring training in order to give him more versatility and a better path to playing time in 2024. He'll be with the big-league club for the first time this year after hitting .266/.394/.468 with an .862 OPS, a career-high 18 home runs, 31 doubles, four triples, 84 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 94 runs scored in 122 games in 2023 for Triple-A Round Rock. Foscue has shown good contact skills and plate discipline in the minors, but he probably lacks enough power to be a legitimate fantasy option at a corner infield spot. His best path to playing time in 2024 might be at third base if Josh Jung (calf) cannot stay healthy.
