Tommy La Stella Scores Twice As Leadoff Hitter
4 years agoOakland Athletics second baseman Tommy La Stella went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in a loss to the Padres Sunday. La Stella batted leadoff for the first time since being traded to Oakland and immediately sparked the offense by doubling and scoring in the first inning. He has been batting second for Oakland and should score plenty of runs batting ahead of the big bats in a good lineup. He sports a .364 on-base percentage thanks to a strong 12.4 percent walk rate and a league-leading 6.2 percent strikeout rate. He is a solid starter at a weak second base position for fantasy managers.
