When the Rays traded for Logan Forsythe back in 2014, they were hoping he would flourish into a “Ben Zobrist” caliber of player. Having all the intangibles to do so (versatility!), it took a year for him to get comfortable with his new team.
Then 2015 came, and things started to click for him.
A season that saw Forsythe slash .281/.359/.444 and lead all 2nd baseman in wRC+ (weighted runs created) with 126, he was deemed Team MVP by both his teammates and coaches alike. With that, he’s undoubtedly carried over his stellar play to this season.
