Alex Call Hitting Second Thursday Versus Rockies
2 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Alex Call is hitting second for his second straight start Thursday versus the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The Nats are stacking up right-hander hitters in a matchup against left-hander Kyle Freeland as the first four hitters against him will be swinging from the right side of the plate. The 28-year-old Call enjoyed a solid MLB debut between the Guardians and Nationals last season, hitting .237 with five homers, three steals, an 11.5% BB%, and .748 OPS across 47 games. He actually hit right-handed pitching better than he did lefties last season but Thursday is another indication he will move up the lineup when facing a southpaw starter.
