Tommy Edman Just 1-For-20 This Spring
3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman has had a rough Spring Training so far. Over seven games and 20 at-bats, he's recorded just one hit and no walks while striking out three times. The 26-year-old was the Cardinals' primary leadoff hitter in 2021. However, there has been some speculation that Dylan Carlson could be in the mix for leadoff hitting duties this year. While Edman is great at avoiding strikeouts (13.7% strikeout rate last year) and is a top-notch base stealer (30 stolen bases in 2021), he had an on-base percentage of just .308 last season. Carlson, meanwhile, had a .343 OBP. Edman's stolen base prowess makes him a worthy mid-round target in roto and head-to-head categories leagues, but in points leagues, you can allow him to drop into the late rounds.
