Rowdy Tellez Playing For Mexico In WBC
2 years agoMilwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez will be representing Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. Tellez will be joined by other major-leaguers to represent Mexico, such as teammate Luis Urias, Julio Urias, Randy Arozarena, Joey Meneses and others. Tellez hit a whopping 35 home runs this past season with the Brewers and continues to emanate elite power. His slash line was underwhelming after molding a .219/.306/.461 triple line this past season, but that's typical for a sole power hitter. The first baseman accumulated a 115 OPS+ and drove in 89 runs. His .306 on-base percentage was at the root of his low average, but playing in the WBC could help him out. Not to mention, Tellez also received an offer to play for Israel in the WBC.
