Tim Locastro was coming off a very strong 2020, which is something very few people in the world could actually say. He hit .290 and got on base at a .395 clip, which was good enough to get him an OPS+ of 133. This, combined with his tendency to successfully steal bases as well as for getting hit by pitches, turned him into a fan favorite. Many of these fans, myself included, felt that given his strong performance in the pandemic shortened season and the general lack of other options that he should be the starting center fielder for the Diamondbacks this year.
