Ty France News
Seattle Mariners infielder Ty France played a key role in the team's 8-6 win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday, collecting three hits in four at-bats. He doubled, homered, and added walked as well. The 27-year-old is now slashing a strong .327/.431/.571 with three home runs, 12 RBI, and seven runs across 13 games. Though he has yet to hit this well in the big leagues, it hasn't come out of nowhere. During 152 games in 2021, France hit .291 and added 18 big flies. He should be rostered in all leagues, as he has a strong chance to continue contributing in batting average and power, and he's been a fixture in the lineup's two-hole.
Seattle Mariners infielder Ty France will be the team's starting first baseman next season, Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto told reporters at the general manager meetings on Tuesday. France, who joined Seattle in a 2020 trade with the San Diego Padres, enjoyed a breakout season at the plate in 2021. In 650 plate appearances, the 27-year-old hit .291 with a .368 on-base percentage and 18 home runs. Arguably the Mariners best position player last season, France also started games at second base and third base.
Seattle Mariners infielder Ty France had another strong game Saturday, going 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and three runs scored in a 6-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels. France has come up huge down the stretch, slashing .358/.470/.566 with two homers, 11 RBI, and 13 runs scored in his last 15 games. He doesn't offer enough power or speed to be a top-end fantasy value, but he's been a solid contributor all season long and should be drafted in the middle rounds come 2022.
