After a strong performance last season, Baty is expected to play various positions, including third base, second base, and even right field. This move not only keeps Batys powerful left-handed bat in the lineup but also provides flexibility for the team, allowing them to rest veteran players without weakening the lineup. Fans and analysts praise this strategy, highlighting Batys potential as a twenty-plus homer threat and a league-average hitter with high defensive value.
