Curtis Mead Adds Weight In The Offseason
27 seconds agoTampa Bay Rays second baseman Curtis Mead added weight during the offseason. Mead did this to hit the ball harder and retain his strength through the long season. Mead has appeared in 62 MLB contests over the past two seasons but has yet to enjoy any sustained success. During the 2023 season, Mead held a .253/.326/.349 line with one home run in 24 games. Last season, Mead posted a slightly lower .238/.282/.287 line with home run across 38 games. He generated a poor 36.6 percent ard-hit rate and 4.3 percent barrel rate. However, with Triple-A Durham, the 24-year-old has performed much better. Last season, Mead posted a strong .288/.259/.481 line with 19 doubles and 13 home runs. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development during spring training as he will likely compete for a bench role on the Opening Day roster.
