Martin Maldonado: .196/.282/.335, 11 HR, 40 RBI, 73 wRC+

These projections would be an improvement over Martin Maldonado’s 2021 season numbers of .172/.272/.300 with a wRC+ of 63. It’s comforting to remember the big situations in which Maldonado was clutch, but the truth is he failed in those situations most of the time, too, batting .153 with runners in scoring position and .121 in late/close situations in 2021.
