He doesn’t fit the prototype but with the big bats in lineup, we can get away with it

The prototype of leadoff hitters has been shifting over the last 5-10 years. Take George Springer for instance. He’s a long way away from the old prototype. The game has changed you don’t necessarily want a guy who hits singles and is speedy in the leadoff spot.

You want a guy who can get to second. It’s getting harder and harder to score a guy from first these days.
