Marcus Semien Still Searching For First Home Run
Marcus Semien has been struggling at the plate to kick off his career with his new team. Over 17 games, he's slashing .176/.247/.235 with four doubles, two stolen bases, six RBI and nine runs scored. He has yet to hit his first home run as a Ranger. The 31-year-old has a hard-hit rate of just 25.5% so far this year, down from 41.3% last year. Additionally, his average exit velocity is just 86 mph, a notable decrease from his 89.7 mph average exit velocity last year. Semien is a streaky hitter and he has clearly yet to settle in for the 2022 season. Fantasy managers should remain patient with him and maybe just consider benching him for a week or so until he gets going.
