Kyle Manzardo Goes Deep On Monday
22 seconds agoCleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo went 1-for-1 with a two-run shot during Monday's spring training contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Manzardo hit the home run against right-handed pitcher Josh Winder in the fourth inning. Last season, the 24-year-old made his MLB debut and spent 53 games with the Guardians. He posted a .242/.282/.421 slash line with 12 doubles and five home runs and was typically held out of the lineup when facing left-handed pitchers. He began to find his footing in September when he held a .270/.333/.540 slash line. The former second-round selection was viewed as one of the top first base prospects in the sport when progressing through the minor leagues. Manzardo held a strong .254/.369/.509 line across 177 career games at Triple-A. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development, as he should have a good opportunity to crack the Opening Day roster.
