Coming into the 2019 season, shortstop Jean Segura was seemingly the perfect fit to an already almost complete puzzle for the Phillies.
Offseason acquisitions Bryce Harper, Andrew McCutchen, and JT Realmuto would all surely benefit from an elite “contact hitter” batting around them, right?
Over the course of his last three seasons, Segura hit AT LEAST .300 each year, amassing a total of 538 hits in the process.
Segura was selected to his first All-Star game in 2013 and even received some MVP votes during his fifth season, a year in which he led the entire MLB in base hits (2016).
