With the 2017 regular season finished and tallied up and the Rangers officially enjoying the offseason, Nomar Mazara’s future value remains a question. After a promising rookie season where he flashed impressive raw power and above average barrel to ball skills, he seemed prime for improvement going into 2017. Instead, after a brief hot streak at the beginning of the season, Mazara finished the season with .4 fWAR and .1 bWAR. Out of 144 qualified players, Mazara was sandwiched in between Alcides Escobar and Ryan Healy at 126th in fWAR.
Looking at Mazara’s peripherals, it appears that he took some small steps forward.
