Wil Myers

Wil Myers, the 2013 American League Rookie of the Year, continues to struggle to reproduce that season. After slashing .253/.336/.427 in 2015, Myers has looked even worse at the plate so far this spring. In 19 at-bats spread over eight games, Myers has two hits with one run batted in and has struck out six times. He has drawn four walks to raise his on-base percentage to .261, but the San Diego Padres are going to need more from their center fielder if they are going to have any chance to compete in a loaded National League West division.
