Last season started with Bryce Harper on the injured list and his return to the outfield in doubt. Nick Castellanos displayed his potential at the plate with streaks of glory intertwined with weeks of paltry performance. In left field we found Kyle Schwarber, who is by his nature a DH, and is a mildly competent left fielder as long as the ball is hit directly to him. Brandon Marsh covered center until he moved to left field after Rojas moved in to cover center in July.
This season the outfield has the potential to be much stronger. Let’s take a look at the best case scenarios for the boys in the field.
