Alek Thomas Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is in the lineup for Game 1 of the World Series, hitting seventh for the away team. Thomas will likely sit against a left-handed starter, such as Jordan Montgomery or Andrew Heaney, but he will likely start when a righty is on the mound. Thomas is an excellent defensive center fielder, credited with six outs above average this season, but has had his struggles at the plate. The 23-year-old is hitting .212 during the postseason with four home runs.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, two-run home run in a 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the NLCS on Friday. Thomas started this game on the bench as the Phillies went with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez as their starter. The D-Backs were facing a 5-3 deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning before Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled off Craig Kimbrel to set the stage for Alek Thomas, who replaced Emmanuel Rivera as a pinch-hitter. Thomas then cranked a two-run shot to right-center field and tied the game. Ketel Marte would single and come around to score via a Gabriel Moreno single later in the frame. The series is now tied at two games apiece and heads back to Philadelphia on Saturday. Thomas, who has mostly struggled this postseason, has still delivered some big hits. He's slashing just .192/.241/.538 across 26 at-bats but he does have three home runs and five RBI to go along with that poor batting line.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas will remain out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's Game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies. The D-Backs will stick with their Game 3 lineup here. That means, Thomas will sit out his second straight game against a left-handed starting pitcher. Possibly, Thomas comes off the bench as a pinch-hitter later in the contest. Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Corbin Carroll and Tommy Pham will patrol the outfield in Game 4.
