The Houston Astros may need a new leadoff hitter in 2021. Here are three possible candidates.
During the Houston Astros’ run of success over the past few seasons, George Springer typically occupied the leadoff spot in the batting order. He’s done that extremely well, providing some punch at the top of the lineup. But he’s also likely to depart this winter, leaving manager Dusty Baker to find someone else to jump start things offensively.
