Wil Myers Posting Gaudy Spring Numbers Again
4 years agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers has posted some big Cactus League numbers in springs past, and he's doing it again in 2021. Myers went 2-for-2 with a walk on Thursday against Cleveland and hit his second home run in as many games. He's hitting .389 with a 1.310 OPS in spring training action. We always caution readers to take spring numbers with a grain of salt, and it's no different with Myers. The 30-year-old did have a much better 2020 season, raising his average considerably and cutting down on his strikeouts, but his average can't be relied on and he hasn't been running nearly as much as he did earlier in his career. It helps that the lineup has improved drastically around him, so Myers should be a decent source of power and speed in 2021.
