Seiya Suzuki Continues Hot Hitting
4 weeks agoChicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki drove in four runs during Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Colorado Rockies, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run during the fifth inning. Suzuki also contributed to a four-run Cubs second inning with a single to right center that scored Mike Tauchman and Nico Hoerner. After Chicago let the Rockies get back into the game, Suzuki drove in his fourth run of the contest on a fielder's choice in the eighth frame. Not only did the 29-year-old Japanese slugger end 2023 on a high note, but he also hit .459 with a 1.593 OPS, six long balls, 12 RBI, and two stolen bases in 41 spring training plate appearances. That momentum appears to be carrying over into the regular season, as Suzuki is now batting .333 with a .972 OPS, two bombs, and eight RBI over his first 27 at-bats. His hot streak will be challenged during an upcoming three-game weekend set against a much more talented Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff.
