Ryan Bliss On Base Three Times Sunday
8 months agoSeattle Mariners shortstop prospect Ryan Bliss went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, and a walk for Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. He also drove in a run and scored once. The 24-year-old is having a decent season so far at the plate, going 19-for-76 (.250) with four doubles, three triples, and three home runs, but has also driven in 20 runs and scored 16 times. The right-handed hitter has also shown patience with 16 walks (16.3%) to 23 strikeouts (23.5%) and has already stolen 12 bases in 21 games. Bliss slashed .304/.378/.524 last season with 23 home runs and 55 stolen bases, which was great, but he can do it with his glove too, winning the Arizona Fall League Defensive Player of the Year in 2023. He also had a strong showing in spring training this season, hitting .333 (12-for-36) with a home run and five stolen bases, so it would seem he's knocking on the door to a major league debut within the next month or two. Fantasy managers in need of steals would be wise to keep tabs on him.
