Marcus Semien Nearing Career-Best Marks
3 years agoShortstop Marcus Semien has been fantastic in his first season with the Toronto Blue Jays this year. Over 125 games, he's slashing .267/.333/.523 with 30 home runs, 13 stolen bases, 73 RBI and 89 runs. He set his career-high in stolen bases with 14 in 2018, and the following year, he set his career-high in home runs with 33. He should be able to pass both of those career-best marks soon. Semien currently has a career-best hard-hit rate of 41.6%, up from 28.6% last year. His barrel-rate is also at a career-high mark (9.7%). His .236 xBA is a bit concerning, but he should continue to flourish in all counting stats through the rest of the year.
