Compared with the outside hand, the defensive pressure of the right field is not so great, and many heavy gunners are also active in this position, but the right field often needs to face the situation of the opponent's runner challenging the third base when facing the far-reaching fly ball, so the strong return pass shoulder force is also very important, and today let's take stock of mlb's top ten right outfielders, and see what strong hit + laser shoulder players are included in this list!
1. Juan Soto, Washington National
Soto, who is only 23 years old this year, entered the major leagues as early as 2018, and knocked out 121 hits in 116 games in his rookie year, which was a good performance. 2019 was even more eye-catching, contributing 153 hits, including 34 home runs, 110 RBIs, running back to 110 points, and in the playoffs, he took on the heavy responsibility of hitting and led the nation to win the World Series championship. After the outbreak of the shrinkage season, Soto still maintained his power last season, hitting as high as .313/.465/.534 and the attack index reached .999! What's even more frightening is that last season, in addition to 157 hits, soto also had a full 145 guarantees, presumably behind so many guarantees is the opponent's pitcher's jealousy of his batting ability.
2. Bryce Harper, a Philadelphia Phillie
A new generation wins over the old, but Harper, a former Nationals ace batter and former "hard-fought teenager", is still full of attack after switching to the Phillies. Last season, he knocked out 151 home runs in 141 games, including 35 home runs, hitting a range of .309/.429/.615 and an attack index of 1.044, which gave him the third single-season attack index of his career to break 1 and helped him win the National League MVP award. The Phillies want to break out of the line in the new season, adding two more heavy cannons, and Harper's performance on the percussion end is still the team's focus. At present, the performance of 10 hits and 2 hits in 12 games is still slow and hot.
3. Ronald Acuna Jr., Atlanta Warriors
In the 2018 season, Acuña made a surprise appearance as the Warriors' star of hope, and in 2019 he took it to the next level, knocking out 175 hits in 156 games, running back to 127 points and 101 RBIs, allowing him to consolidate the position of the team's main outfielder. He was slightly weaker in the shrink season, but in 82 games last season, he was still in pretty good shape, and his three-time shooting was at a high level of .283/.406/.581, but unfortunately, the injury forced him to share the joy of his teammates winning the World Series championship on the bench. Although he still has not made his debut in the new season due to injury, he will be more eager to help the team defend the title with his own strength in the new season.
4. Aaron Judge, Yankees, New York
Speaking of how it is possible for a right fielder to be without Judge? A "judge's court" is a nightmare for all pitchers, with the 2.23-meter-tall Jachy topped 52 home runs, 154 hits plus 127 dropouts in the first full season of 2017, bringing his attacking index to 1.049. Even after being injured in the following seasons and being targeted by opponent pitches, Judge still had a way to knock out long shots. In 148 games last season, Jacques knocked out 158 hits, including 39 home runs, with a shooting percentage of .287 was a career high. In the new season, he and the Yankees will once again launch an assault on the World Series, defending the status of the old-school powerhouse.
5. Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers
The right fielder must not only have a wide range of defense, but also excellent mobility and arm strength, and Bates's ability is extremely good, sharp judgment, extremely fast foot range and outstanding passing arm strength make him a "hexagonal warrior". Since playing the full season in 2015, his performance has steadily improved, winning the American League MVP award in 2018 with 180 home runs, 32 home runs, and hitting three.346/.438/.640. Bates helped his new club win the title immediately after coming to the Dodgers in 2020, and he also had a good performance last season, contributing 123 hits in 122 games, including 23 home runs, and 68 selections to guarantee.
6. Kyle Tucker, Houston Astros
Although the 2018 season has been on the stage of major leagues, it was not until 2020 that Tucker ushered in the starting season, knocking 56 hits and 42 RBIs in 58 games, which made him the perfect successor to George Springer and became the team's outfield firepower. In 140 games last season, Tucker knocked out 149 hits, including 30 home runs, hitting 294/.359/.557; in the playoffs, he contributed 17 hits, 4 hits, and 15 RBIs, making him one of the team's heroes along the way to the World Series. Oh, and don't forget, Tucker is only 25 years old, which is a promising future.
7 Nick Castellanos, a Philadelphia native
If a better team makes the big leagues, Castellanos might have had a few more playoff experiences. In the 2019 season, despite knocking 110 hits and 11 home runs in 103 games, he was still traded to the Cubs; as a result, in the Cubs' 52 games, he hit 68 hits and 16 home runs, making him popular with the Reds. He became the Reds' hottest hit last season with Jesse Winker, with 164 hits including 34 home runs, 100 RBIs and a 309/.362/.576 strikeout, earning him a big contract for the Phillies.
8 Teoscar Hernandez, Toronto Blue Jays
Without a long hand kung fu is really difficult to get a foothold in the "strike team" Blue Jays, Hernandez in the 2020 shrinkage season suddenly broke out, 50 games knocked out 55 hits, 16 home runs, last season he directly doubled the output, 143 games contributed 163 hits, including 32 home runs, 116 RBIs, hits as high as .296/.346/.524. However, he has suffered from injuries after playing six of his six hits in six games this season.
9. Mark Canha, New York Met
After entering major leagues in 2015, Cana went through two seasons of injuries before he found his form in 2018, and in 2019 he played a career year, knocking out 112 hits including 26 home runs in 127 games, with an attack index of .913. However, his batting performance has declined in the last two seasons, with only 120 hits in 141 games last season, with a strike rate of only .231 and an attack index falling to .746. After moving to the Mets in the offseason, he knocked out eight hits in six games.
10. Randy Arozarena, Tampa Bay Rays
Being able to finish tenth on last season's League of The Best Newcomer list is not just because A rosarena is "Mr. October," but his masterpiece did knock out 29 hits in 20 games in the 2020 playoffs, including 10 home runs, with a .377 strike rate and an attack index of 1.273, which is worth thousands of dollars in the playoffs. With 142 appearances in the regular season last season, Arosarena contributed 145 hits, 56 picks and 20 steals, making him a trusted pioneer for the team. The new season's 10 hits in 11 games, including five second-base hits, still keep the Rays competitive.
