It’s safe to say that Leody Taveras exceeded the Texas Rangers’ expectations during the 2020 season.
Leody Taveras made his long-awaited big league debut on July 24, 2020 as a defensive replacement in centerfield, but shortly after solidified his spot as the Texas Rangers starting center fielder.
Taveras may not have put up eye-popping numbers, albeit in a short sample size, but did generate a lot of buzz around the league with his highlight reel catches in the biggest part of Globe Life Field.
