Marcus Semien News
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien made his Cactus League debut in Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals, going 0-for-1 with a walk. He followed that up with a 1-for-2 outing that included a hit by pitch on Sunday in a 0-0 tie with the Giants, bringing his spring OBP to .600. Although he should be fine, he was pinch run for at first base after the HBP. Semien is coming off a season in which he played all 162 games, had a 25-game hit streak, earned his second All-Star nomination, and earned his second Silver Slugger award on his way to a third-place finish for AL MVP. The righty even finished off the Rangers' postseason run with a 7-game hit streak. Going off the board at around the 28th overall pick, RotoBaller sees a bit more upside with a ranking of 24th overall, and he should finish once again as one of the top second base options in 2024.
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien will look to maintain his career-long success against Astros right-hander Justin Verlander on Friday night despite entering the game with a cold bat. The veteran has just three hits, and zero extra-base hits, with one walk across 17 plate appearances across the first four games of this ALCS versus the Astros. He does, however, sport quality career numbers off of Verlander as he has gone 14-for-46 (.304) with a double, a triple, and a pair of home runs in his career against Verlander, good for a healthy .804 OPS. While he has zero walks against nine strikeouts off of the Future Hall of Famer in that time, perhaps seeing a pitcher he has faced plenty throughout his career can help dig Semien out of his slump.
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien was phenomenal on Sunday, belting two solo home runs as the Rangers collected a 9-8 victory over the Mariners, capping off a three-game sweep. With seven games left in the season, Semien can reach a 30-homer year, needing just three more long balls. The 33-year-old has stepped to the plate 642 times in 2023 and has posted a slash line of .277/.350/.475 with 27 home runs and 97 RBI.

After a huge 2021 season, Marcus Semien saw his stock slip a bit after 2022. Last year acted as a reminder of his fantasy value. Semien hit .276/.348/.478 with 29 homers, 100 RBI, 122 runs and 14 steals. In today's game, 14 stolen bases might not count towards being a five-category contributor but that's a title that should be placed on Semien. Only four players scored more runs than Semien and only seven other players reached triple digits in runs and RBI. It's tough to expect 120 runs again this year but the Rangers offense doesn't look like it'll slow down much in 2024. It was also the fourth consecutive full season in which Semien scored 100 or more runs. He's missed just one game in the last three seasons and hasn't been on the IL since 2017. Despite hitting 29 homers, there are concerns about Semien's quality of contact. His HardHit% and Barrel% both ranked in the 30th percentile or worst. But he hit 45 homers in 2021 with both ranking no better than in the 63rd percentile. Semien has a track record of consistent production and even in his age 33 season, doesn't look like slowing down soon.
