The Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yunel Escobar was a key addition in the offseason of 2015. Offensively, Escobar provided much-needed help for Mike Trout and company.
His batting average was a cool .304, in part because he literally swings at everything. However, Escobar’s five homers and 39 RBI’s gave the Angels a nice lift at times throughout the season.
On the fielding side of the ball, Escobar also provided some great help to the Angels. He recorded 95 putouts and kept his errors just below 20 for the season. With 22 double plays turned, Escobar quickly solidified himself as the starting third baseman for the season.
