4 years agoSeattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France is starting the 2021 season the same way he finished spring training. France reached base three times Friday, going 1-for-2 with two walks. He also scored a run. France has gone 2-for-6 over the first two games of the year, but it's his three walks that are most impressive. In a very small sample thus far, France is blowing his 6.3 percent career walk rate out of the water. The more France can keep strong control of the strike zone, the more runs he'll score on the base-paths, and the more pitchers will have to come after him in the zone where he can do damage with his elite batted ball skills.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
