Justin Foscue Working Out At First Base In Camp
3 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.
