After an impressive spell at the end of the 2018 season, he had a firm grasp on the Orioles' center field job, only to fall apart in 2019 and lose it. After playing well down the stretch in 2020, Mullins is in a similar spot. This time, he feels as if everything he did to rebuild himself will put him in a much better place entering spring training.
“I think on a maturity standpoint, I know how I’m going to approach that time in spring training — just embracing that I have a solid shot, but I do have some competition,” Mullins said.
