Seiya Suzuki Could Stick In Second Spot In Lineup
9 months agoThe Athletic's Sahadev Sharma points out that Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki has mostly been hitting second in Cactus League games this spring. Suzuki hit all over the lineup during his first two seasons, but in theory, the two-hole could be where he could most help the Cubs. From Aug. 1, Suzuki's 183 wRC+ was third-best in baseball. He has turned a corner and found a comfort level at the plate, and it's not a stretch to call him the most complete hitter on the team now. Manager Craig Counsell usually prefers to put his best hitters at the top of the lineup, so expect Suzuki to at least start the season as the No. 2 hitter in what could be a pretty potent Chicago lineup. RotoBaller considers the 29-year-old as the No. 23 fantasy outfielder this year.
