Gregory Polanco Homers in Spring Training Debut
4 years agoPittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in a 6-4 Pirates' victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon. Coming off the worst season of his career in 2020, Polanco showing off some power early this spring will be a welcome sight for managers who hope to see Polanco return to his pre-2019 form. If Polanco continues to swing the bat well during Spring Training he could be a good buy-low candidate in drafts, as his Statcast numbers have remained nearly identical over the last three seasons while his .222 xBA and .414 xSLG suggest he was somewhat unlucky last year when he posted a .153 average and .325 slugging percentage.
