Dylan Moore Poised To Build On 2020 Improvements
4 years agoSeattle Mariners utility man Dylan Moore made a change in his approach at the plate before the 2020 season in order to be more direct to the ball, and it yielded huge results. Moore's line-drive percent jumped almost nine percentage points over his rookie season to a solid 24.7%, and his 13.8% barrel rate placed him in the 89th percentile of all major league hitters. While playing all over the diamond, Moore produced an on-base percentage of .358 and a slugging percentage of .496. Expected to be the Mariners regular second baseman this year, Moore also contributes stolen bases. He was one of only four players to have at least eight home runs and 12 steals in the shortened 2020 campaign, which projects to 26 homers and 40 steals over 500 plate appearances. He could be a bargain for fantasy managers in 2021.
