Corey Seager is Derek Jeter's favorite player. He's also Marcus Semien's. Ben Verlander explains what makes the two-time World Series MVP so special.
It's pretty amazing where this team has come from, in both the short- and long-term. This franchise didn't make the playoffs for the first 35 years of its existence, which includes a decade as the second incarnation of the Washington Senators before moving to Texas. That's a long time and makes for a tortured fan base.
Now, all that is over. The Texas Rangers have overcome all the years and decades of disappointment and heartbreak. They did so behind a group of veterans who had been there before, including, a high-profile addition himself, said of Seager."Every time he came up, you felt like he was going to do something special.
Seager hit .318 with an 1.133 OPS this postseason, with six home runs, 18 runs scored, 12 RBIs and 12 extra-base hits. The Rangers were 10-2 in the playoffs when Seager recorded a hit and 2-2 when he didn't, underscoring his importance to this offense. Unsurprisingly, his 15 hits on the road are the biggest reason the Rangers went an unprecedented 11-0 away from Globe Life Field this postseason.
