Dodgers' Corey Seager: Goes deep again Thursday
Seager went 1-for-3 with two walks and his fifth home run of the season in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Giants.
Analysis:
The 23-year-old continues to impress early on, taking a pitch to the opposite field for a home run for the second consecutive day, this time off the left-handed Matt Moore. The lefty understandably has better batting average splits against righties (.392) than against southpaws (.206) this season, but he has been able to maintain his power (two homers) and plate discipline (9:5 K:BB) against pitchers of the same handedness. Seager has been as advertised this season, ranking second among shortstops in home runs (five) and RBI (17) while carrying a .318 batting average.
