Spring training statistics have to be taken with a grain of salt, as the MLB preseason is as much about shaking off the rust and working on specific things as it is about actual on-field performance.
That being said, we as baseball fans love us some statistics, so there’s no sense pretending they don’t exist.
Here in mid-March, there are already a handful of players who have stood out, albeit in less than 10 games.
So here is a look at the 2015 All-Spring Training Team, two weeks into this year’s Cactus and Grapefruit League action.
The goal here was not just to highlight the guy with the best numbers at each position, but to focus on players who genuinely have something to gain with their big performances so far this spring.
That could include a young player proving he’s ready for a major role, a player locked into a position battle separating himself from the pack or a veteran who looks poised for a bounce-back season.
