The Random Evil Player program picked Corey Seager for the next player report. Seager plays shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He came up at the end of the 2015 season, and in his two-plus years in the majors hit like a superstar. The 2018 campaign will be his seasonal age 24 season, meaning he has still not entered his peak.
Seager may soon develop a reputation as a clutch hitter, as so far he hit very well with men on base, and slightly better with runners in scoring position. Twenty four of his 52 home runs came with men on. His RBI totals are not gaudy, however, as he mostly batted second so far, and the Dodgers tend to bat the pitcher ninth. Seager is mostly moving a man on first into scoring position. Either the Dodgers should adopt pitcher batting eighth strategy, or move Seager down in the order to take more advantage of his power to drive in runs.
On top of that, Seager is an excellent defensive shortstop. If he keeps up the hitting and defense, expect multiple MVPs awards going to Seager.
