His .834 OPS is pretty much in line with the .843 mark he posted over 369 at-bats in his injury-shortened campaign of last season, so Haniger is showing that he's capable of replicating that production as he looks to complete a full season this year.","date":"Mon Aug 20"},"fullName":"Mitch Haniger","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Haniger's first season with the Mariners was impressive, as he posted a healthy 129 wRC+. Speaking of health, the 27-year old outfielder missed about six weeks in the first half with a sore oblique, then nearly another three weeks after being hit in the face by a fastball in late July. Haniger parlayed an above average hard-hit rate into a .338 BABIP and 16 percent HR/FB, fueling an OPS of .843. Curiously, after drawing free passes at a 13 percent clip through June, Haniger walked at a 3 percent pace the rest of the season. This wasn't just about getting hit in the face either, as his walk rate was four percent in July prior to the injury. Assuming Haniger regains the discipline exhibited in the first half, he has a chance at hitting in a productive spot in a potentially strong lineup. Right field is his, assuming Haniger is healthy. There's little buzz, making him a potential profit center.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Fri Mar 9"},"playerRater30DAY":2.7,"playerRater15DAY":5.2,"positionRank":16}
