Players with MVP potential, like Corey Seager, are anticipated to perform very well on the big playoff stage. Rookies, though, might not feel the same way. particularly considering that the rookie made his Major League Baseball debut on September 8th and just turned 21 on August 29th. Nevertheless, by defeating one of the top pitchers in the game, Tyler Glasnow, both Seager and starting left fielder Evan Carter led the Texas Rangers to victory afternoon.
Corey Seager is once again rock solid.Going 2 for 4, with a double, a walk, a run scored, and a run driven in, Seager was doing his usual thing. Nothing out of the ordinary for one of the finest players in the game and the top player on the squad. Despite losing a significant amount of time due to injuries, Seager would be the front-runner for the AL MVP title this season if Shohei Ohtani hadn’t moved to the American League.
Show stealer Evan Carter also plays second base.Even though Seager gave an outstanding showing at the plate, Carter’s was better. The young player stole a base, scored a run, went 2 for 2, and walked twice. His two hits were base hits. The first was a cut shot that ended up going all the way to the wall in the right-center gap. Jonah Heim would have more than likely added an RBI to his stat line if third base coach Tony Beasley hadn’t been, in my opinion, a little overly cautious in not sending Heim out.
He did make a mistake on the defensive end of the ball when he misplayed an Isaac Paredes hit that got him to second base with two outs. Luckily, on the following play, Jordan Montgomery was able to get Curtis Mead to ground out to Josh Jung. Carter had one of the best defensive plays of the game earlier in the game, so it was the only hiccup he had. For the third out of the inning in the first inning with two outs, he made a diving catch that was shown on SportsCenter’s highlight reel.
Everybody is aware of Seager’s identity and his abilities, regardless of the time of day. Although Rangers supporters have been hearing nothing but positive things about Carter on the farm, it is imperative that he steps up and gives this squad a much-needed boost. The child is unique, and today demonstrated that no occasion is too large for him. Fans typically shudder when their team’s ninth hitter comes up, but with Carter, they all get thrilled because they know he is a tough out.
I’m interested to see how he does tomorrow after such a strong playoff start today. I’m speculating that it will be a strong showing, and he will undoubtedly be playing with everything on the line. Evan Carter is a very talented baseball player, much like Corey Seager.
