Jorge Soler Moved Up In Order
7 years agoKansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, and he's getting bumped up to the No. 2 spot in the order as a reward. Soler has spent most of the season hitting in the four or five hole due to his reputation as a slugger, but he's altered his approach this season to focus more on contact and on-base percentage. His .436 OBP should play excellently in the No. 2 slot, even if it means he has to depend on the heart of the order that is one of the worst in baseball. Hopefully, third baseman Mike Moustakas can see more RBI opportunities with Soler in front of him.
