Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday in advance of the Freeway Series that he sees Taylor getting at-bats “against left-handers” this season.
That was in response to a follow-up question about Taylor’s quest for playing time on an Opening Day roster that includes five other right-handed hitters who mostly outperformed Taylor at the plate in spring training. In 48 Cactus League plate appearances, Taylor had six hits and 23 strikeouts ― a .125 batting average.
The question for Taylor, soon, is when he’ll get that work in during regular season games. He’s in line to get at-bats at third base, shortstop and second base, Roberts said, but is blocked by a starter at each of those positions. Trayce Thompson, James Outman and David Peralta effectively comprise three outfielders to play left field and center field, with Mookie Betts holding down the right field on most nights.
Thompson batted .103 with 10 strikeouts in Cactus League play. He also hit .214 with seven strikeouts in the World Baseball Classic.
