• Rangers' Rougned Odor: Bops second spring HR

  03/05/2020 •

  Odor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's spring game against the Rockies. Odor continues to mash in the Cactus League, batting .368 with four extra-base hits and a team-high nine RBI. The strong September finish in 2019 has carried over to 2020. His 20 spring plate appearances are among the team leaders, which is odd for an established player at this time of training camp, but it indicates the Rangers are serious to have him establish a consistent plate approach after he batted just .205 last season. It was his second time in three seasons with an average just above the Mendoza Line (.200).

  Odor went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Thursday's win over the Cubs. Odor is off to a flying start this spring, going 5-for-9 with six RBI in three spring games.

Odor, who teetered on losing his full-time job at times in 2019, posted a .984 OPS with nine home runs in 24 games during September last year. Still, the Rangers have seen similar bursts out of Odor, and they have not sustained over longer stretches.

  09/25/2019 •

  Odor went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two walks and a second run scored in Tuesday's 12-10 loss to the Red Sox. Odor popped his 28th homer during a game in which the Rangers played catch-up all night after going down by four runs in the top of the first inning. The second baseman, who continues to flirt with a .200 batting average, has picked the right time for his best hitting month. Odor's .954 OPS during September qualifies as a high-water mark for him this season and leaves a positive impression as the Rangers evaluate him for an everyday job in 2020.
