'Skeptics abound' about increased role for Profar, who dove into new offseason approach
When the MLB lockout ended, though, fans waited … and waited … and waited for a move to lock down a left fielder. They watched as free agents like Seiya Suzuki, Kris Bryant and Nick Castellanos landed elsewhere. Ears perked as sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Jorge Soler fell off the board, as well.
Skeptics abound, given Profar’s power shortage in 2021. His OPS dipped to .649 after three consecutive seasons of .711 or higher. After 20-homer seasons for the Rangers in 2018 and Oakland in ’19, averaging a long ball in 4.1 percent of at-bats across those seasons, it dropped to 1.1 percent in 2021.“I think he’s looking to increase the production that we’ve seen in the past from him offensively,” Melvin said. “He’s coming in in great shape, looks strong.
Finding a consistent defensive position would offer Profar the chance to settle in unlike any point in his previous pair of San Diego seasons, when he shuffled between five spots. “But there’s plenty of guys who do it who are versatile. I think Jurickson is one of those guys who can gill in any type of role and play well.”
