Mickey Moniak Predictably Sitting Versus Lefty
1 year agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak will start on the bench Monday night when the club opens a series against the San Diego Padres and southpaw Blake Snell. Moniak hit his second homer in three games on Sunday afternoon but will predictably take a seat against a left-hander as he's made just 10 plate appearances against lefties this season versus 109 trips to the plate against right-handers. He's hitless in those 10 plate appearances against left-handers but has tattooed righties for a .333 average alongside a monstrous .381 isolated power, 1.072 OPS, and .447 wOBA. Luis Rengifo will take over in right field while Hunter Renfroe re-enters the starting lineup Monday night in San Diego.
