Nick Gordon Leading Off Tuesday
2 years agoMinnesota Twins second baseman Nick Gordon is hitting out of the leadoff spot Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. Gordon has appeared in four games for the Twins so far this season while hitting sixth in the lineup each time. The 27-year-old is just 1-for-10 on the young season but was productive in his first full MLB campaign in 2022, hitting .272 with nine home runs, six stolen bases, and a .743 OPS across 138 games. His 111 wRC+ graded out 11% superior to the league average. Gordon is seeing full-time reps at second base to begin the season with Jorge Polanco on the injured list due to a knee injury but will likely see a stiff drop in playing time upon Polanco's return.
