Jurickson Profar Gets More Run at Third in Order
7 years agoTexas Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar is starting at shortstop and batting third in the order. The Rangers are actually running out the identical order from the day before, so it's clear that the team is comfortable putting the 25-year-old at the top of the order. Profar has been improving lately after returning from a concussion, getting to show his power much more often. In fact, over the last seven games, Profar has produced a .192 ISO, with half of his hits going for extra bases. It appears that he's getting comfortable for the first time in his career and getting the run necessary to work out the kinks in his game. Elvis Andrus will return to the starting role when he's healthy enough, but the Rangers are finally getting to see what Profar can do.
