Cavan Biggio Expected To Play Infield And Outfield
2 years agoToronto Blue Jays utility man Cavan Biggio is expected to split his playing time in the infield and outfield this coming season. The 27-year-old spent the bulk of 2022 at second and first base, and the Blue Jays were pleased by his performance in the outfield. While he made just nine appearances in the outfield, Biggio has had success in the outfield before and he could be even more of a defensive threat in the outfield. At the plate, his bat isn't too resourceful and at the rate his career is going, Biggio won't be contributing much offense. In 2022, he slashed .202/.318/.350 with a 92 OPS+. His strikeout rate reached a career-high 28.1% mark, which is certainly a concern heading into the season. However, his defensive contributions have never been questioned and he may even secure his first Gold Glove award.
