Why A's Mark Canha rightfully was named to MLB.com's All-Underrated Team

Mark Canha, like many A's players, quietly fell under the radar last season. The recently-turned 31-year-old hit a career-high 26 home runs, yet nobody seemed to mention his name.

One person, at least, did notice. MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince named Canha to his All-Underrated Team going into the 2020 season. Canha is Castrovince's center fielder, though, he likely will find most of his playing time in left field with Ramon Laureano healthy.

Canha actually played four positions in 2019: 56 games in center, 27 games in right field, 15 games at first base and 10 games in left field.
