Hunter Dozier Looking To Steal More Bases
5 years agoKansas City Royals third baseman/outfielder Hunter Dozier talked about how one of his primary targets for 2020 is going to be more stolen bases. Dozier's got the speed, as evidenced by his 10 triples last year, and his average sprint speed is just a hair slower than Whit Merrifield. With the prospective change to outfield for Dozier after Maikel Franco was brought in during the offseason, Dozier feels that he should swipe more bags. The real question for him will be whether he can repeat his power supply from last year though. After years of underperforming, it seemed to click for Dozier last season, and he ripped 26 home runs and barely missed out on an All-Star spot. If he can produce that kind of power once again and tack on another 10+ steals, Dozier could see his value skyrocket.
