Ryan McMahon Looking To Become Starting First Baseman
7 years agoColorado Rockies first baseman Ryan McMahon went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the 3-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds. Despite not getting a hit in the game, McMahon is still sporting a .353/.371/.529 line through spring training and has shown flashes of brilliance against MLB pitchers such as Kyle Hendricks and Mike Leake. It should also be noted that McMahon slashed a .374/.411/.612 with 14 home runs in 289 at-bats last year in Triple-A with the Albuquerque Isotopes. With his dominant performances in both Triple-A and in spring training, there is no doubt that McMahon deserves a spot on the Rockies roster this season. With factors such as the altitude in Denver and the solid hitting personnel that the Rockies hold at the top of the order, McMahon could easily become of the top sleepers in fantasy baseball this year, provided he is given the first base job.
