Jack Suwinski Starting Versus Lefty Saturday
8 months agoPittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski is getting the start in left field on Saturday opposite Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers. It's a rare start for the lefty-swinging Suwinski against a southpaw but the Marlins have started a lefty in each of the three games to begin this series as Pirates skipper Derek Shelton looks to get Suwinski a start. He enjoyed a fine 2023 season that saw him hit .224 with 26 homers, 74 RBI, and 13 stolen bases but he also hit just .200 with only two homers and a .608 OPS against left-handed pitching. However, he also ranked righties for an .856 OPS and big-time .271 isolated power. Add in the speed and Suwinski remains a quality fantasy asset, even on the strong side of a platoon.
