Jay Dieffenbach and Nick Piecoro discuss the Arizona Diamondbacks in our Shot Clock video.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo sounds like he’ll stick with David Peralta in the leadoff spot.
Torey Lovullo acknowledged what his Cactus League lineups have been suggesting for the past couple of weeks: He’s leaning toward keeping outfielder Peralta in the leadoff spot.
“I think that’s my starting point,” Lovullo said. “David asked that question himself. We haven’t quite drilled down to a final answer, but where I’m seeing things land right now, that’s where I’m aiming.”
Peralta hit in the leadoff spot for most of the second half last season.
