Kolten Wong Fantasy

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong seems set to be the team's leadoff hitter. While there hasn't been an official announcement by the team just yet, Wong has hit at the top of the order in six of his seven Grapefruit League starts, and manager Mike Shildt said batting first is, "a good spot for Kolten." Wong was already a solid fantasy contributor in a rather shallow position, but his value will be even stronger in 2020 if he remains at the top of what should be a strong lineup.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong went hitless in Tuesday's Grapefruit League win over the Houston Astros, ending up 0-for-3 with an RBI. Wong is hitting just .214 in Grapefruit League play about halfway through Spring Training, but he's in no danger of losing his starting job. He was solid last season, slashing .285/.361/.423 with 11 home runs and 59 RBI to go with 24 stolen bases. He's a good starting second baseman in most formats.

Wong had a couple of chances to flip this game upside down but never came through. He instead gave us a strikeout hat trick and never reached base, nor moved over any valuable runners-on-base. Mike Foltynewicz has these guys numbers, and a lot of it had to do with his slider working so well. It got Wong to bite twice, striking out 2xin a combined eight pitches. This entire lineup struggled, but Molina and Ozuna did have two hits apiece. Wong just wasnt able to do anything with those ducks on the pond, stranding five base runners throughout the game.
