Lane Thomas Back In Leadoff Spot Thursday
2 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas is back hitting out of the leadoff spot as the Nationals take on the Colorado Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland on Thursday at Coors Field. The righty-swinging Thomas is seeing leadoff duties against left-handed starters this season while sliding down the lineup against righties as he's also started out of the six and seven-holes this season. Thomas has hit .289 with an .844 OPS in his career off lefties versus a .214 average and .668 OPS off same-handed pitching. However, he's just 1-for-9 with a walk across 10 trips to the plate against Freeland in his career.
