Brice Turang

Because they knew this was coming, the Royals recently had Witt lead off a couple of spring games, though they're still planning to bat him second this year. The Team USA lineup: SS Witt, 1B Bryce Harper, RF Aaron Judge, DH Kyle Schwarber, 3B Alex Bregman, C Cal Raleigh, LF Roman Anthony, CF Byron Buxton and 2B Brice Turang. Paul Skenes will start.

Brice Turang slugs a pair of homers, including a grand slam, as Milwaukee escapes with another win

Turang took Giants starter Adrian Houser deep for a 400-foot blast in the opening frame before connecting for a grand slam in the fourth inning against swingman Tristan Beck. The 26-year-old's wheels are his signature calling card, but he made a leap in the power department, launching a career-high 18 big flies in 156 games. It might be a stretch to project 20-plus homers based on his track record, but it's not out of the question. He'll be among the top handful of second baseman off the board as an early-round pick in all fantasy drafts this spring.

Frelick is never going to be a power guy, but he did manage 14 barrels and a 27% hard-hit rate last year after finishing with just three barrels and a 19% hard-hit rate in 2024. He'd probably offer some mixed-league value if he could jump into the Brewers' leadoff spot at some point. Brice Turang, though, overtook him last year and will likely hit first or second alongside Jackson Chourio again this year.
