Jake McCarthy Tallies Three Hits, Swipes Two Bags In Thursday’s Victory
5 months agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy went 3-for-4 on Thursday with two runs and two stolen bases. All three of his hits on Thursday afternoon were singles, and he is now riding a three-game hitting streak. Through 64 games this season, the 26-year-old is holding a strong .298/.378/.422 slash line with three home runs and 12 swiped bags. The Virginia product has taken a major step forward this season as he posted a mediocre .243/.318/.326 line with two home runs and 26 stolen bases last summer. He currently operates on the strong side of a platoon, rotating within the three outfield spots but receiving the majority of time in right field. However, he has made eight starts against southpaws this season. McCarthy is a solid depth outfielder in five outfielder leagues and should provide a substantial stolen base output throughout the summer and should also stabilize your batting average. He is also worth a look at in favorable matchups in DFS.
