2022 Texas Rangers statistical projections: Infielders
The infield is almost set for the Rangers. For now, Nathaniel Lowe will start at 1B. Sam Huff is also likely to get some playing time at 1B. Marcus Semien is set as the everyday second baseman. Corey Seager is also set to be the everyday SS. Isiah Kiner-Falefa should start at 3B unless rookie Josh Jung forces his way into a starting role. If Jung makes the Opening Day roster, Kiner-Falefa will either be traded or start in LF. For now, I have Kiner-Falefa as the starting third baseman on Opening Day.
Nathaniel Lowe
