When the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired Corey Dickerson from the Tampa Bay Rays for Daniel Hudson and Tristan Gray, there were question marks around his defensive ability. During his time in Tampa, Dickerson spent plenty of time as a designated hitter and for good reason.
His defensive ability was one of the few question marks surrounded Dickerson when the Pirates acquired him from the Rays in March. Dickerson, however, proved naysayers wrong with the defensive season he had in 2018. And his defensive efforts in 2018 has led to him being named a finalist for a National League Gold Glove Award in left field.
