Gio Urshela broke out in 2019. The 28-year-old hit .314 in 476 plate appearances (132 games) with 21 homers and 74 RBI. That translates to about 22.67 PA/HR. This came from a guy who hit a total of 8 home runs over 499 plate appearances during his previous seasons in the majors. That’s a 62.38 PA/HR rate. He also played a great third base. While he was an overall 0 outs above average (OAA), he did make some pretty plays at the hot corner throughout the season. In contrast, his biggest competitor at third Miguel Andujar put up a -11 OAA at third in 2018.
