2021 player preview: Jean Segura

In Jean Segura’s first season with the Phillies, he played shortstop, and was slightly below average both with the bat and in the field. In his second season, he moved to both third and second base where he was slightly above average in both areas. Considering the strength of the lineup around him, the Phillies can live with an average player at second base. But considering that he was a two-time All-Star before coming to the Phillies, he’s still been a bit of a disappointment overall.

What could go right in 2021?

The Phillies were unhappy with Segura’s defense at shortstop in his first season with the team.
