Jean Segura

Segura's strikeout rate ballooned last season to above 20%, though his walk rate also took a corresponding jump. But other than that, there wasn't much notable or exciting about his season. He ran a bit less than usual in the shortened year, but he still ranked in the 87th percentile in sprint speed, suggesting that the stolen base potential is still there if he wants to take it. The bigger issue with Segura as he enters his age-31 season is that there's almost no upside, as he'll bat near the bottom of the order and has established a fairly firm ceiling in his career. He's a borderline startable middle infielder in mixed leagues, but nothing more.

Jean Segura expected to be the Phillies starting 2B

Phillies manager Joe Giradi said INF “Jean Segura would have upper hand at second base” and is expected to enter Spring Training as the team’s primary second baseman.

Fantasy Impact

The Phillies “would look to utilize Scott Kingery all over the diamond,” added Giradi. Segura played 32 games in 2020 at second base and is expected to be the team’s primary option at the keystone. He slashed .266/.347/.422 with seven home runs and two stolen bases across 217 plate appearances last season. Segura is solid option at middle infield and currently 24th among all second basemen in the latest expert consensus draft rankings.
