  • He is eligible to play multiple positions including: DH 1B C . However, he plays DH most often.
  • Experts rank this player at 17th among 1B's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 29th.
  • The current leader among 1B's is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
  • He should be doing a bit better than this. Look for him to bounce back.
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
