Eduardo Escobar Doubles In Third Straight Game Saturday
4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar picked up a double in his third straight game on Saturday, finishing 1-for-4 with two runs scored in a 6-6 tie with the Royals. Six of his 10 hits this spring have gone for extra bases, as he has three doubles, a triple and three home runs in 12 games. Escobar struggled in 2020, slashing .212/.270/.335 with four home runs in 54 games, but this spring he is looking much closer to his 2019 form in which he hit 35 home runs while batting .269. It might be a little too much for managers to anticipate 35 homers again this year, but Escobar should safely hit 20 to 25 home runs, making him a steal at his current ADP of 291.
