Manny Machado Hitting Well This Spring
4 years agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has been consistently productive during his nine appearances this spring. He's currently slashing .300/.360/.450 over 20 at-bats. He's yet to hit his first spring home run, but he's tallied three doubles and driven in three runs. Machado is coming off a fantastic season in which he slashed .304/.370/.580 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI, 44 runs and six stolen bases over 60 games. He also decreased his strikeout rate from 19.4% in 2019 to 14.6% last year. Machado is currently going in the late second round of most fantasy drafts. He's a great option at that point to pair with an early third round elite pitcher.
