Geraldo Perdomo Leading Off For First Time Monday
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo is hitting out of the leadoff spot Monday as he takes on Kansas City Royals right-hander Brad Keller. It's the first time he's started out of the leadoff spot in his career as the 23-year-old has largely hit ninth to this point across the first 176 games of his big-league tenure. Perdomo's promotion makes sense as he's hitting a robust .356 alongside a 1.009 OPS across 53 trips to the plate for the season. Unfortunately, he also appears to be set for regression moving forward as his .436 wOBA is miles ahead of his .293 expected mark while he's certainly benefited from a monstrous .469 BABIP on the young campaign.
