Jon Berti Back In The Starting Lineup Thursday
1 year agoMiami Marlins utility player Jon Berti is back in the starting lineup Thursday night versus the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller. The 33-year-old got the night off on Wednesday in the series finale against the Blue Jays but has otherwise seen solid playing time this season. The speedy Berti is hitting a healthy .274 on the season but lacks power with just two homers while drawing walks at a subpar 6.4% clip. All told, Berti owns a .666 OPS while contributing eight stolen bases across 219 plate appearances in 2023. Berti led all of baseball with 41 stolen bases last season, making his eight swipes this time around somewhat disappointing given the steal-friendly rules implemented this season.
