Tampa Bay Rays Chandler Simpson: A Speedy Base-Stealing Threat
The Tampa Bay Rays are preparing for the regular season, despite recent struggles and missing key players in the World Baseball Classic. To address last years outfield issues, theyve signed Cedric Mullins and Jake Fraley as everyday starters. Chandler Simpson, a familiar face, is set for a bigger role. Simpson, 24, impressed in his rookie season with a .295 average, .326 on-base percentage, and .345 slugging percentage. His speed, evident in 44 stolen bases, makes him valuable, even without much power. If he improves his on-base skills, Simpson could lead off for the Rays, potentially forming a formidable lineup with returning WBC players.
