Mauricio Dubon has started out the spring training with a hot bat. He has a .529 batting average and 1.18 OPS so far through spring training. Sure, this is small sample theatre, and I don’t want to put too much stock in spring stats. But good results in the spring are better than bad results. And, at the least, this shows that Dubon came to spring training well prepared to play.
This also reveals the Astros’ good fortune to have this good a utility player. Frequently, utility players are utility players because they are missing an important facet of their game.
