Austin Hedges batting ninth for Padres Thursday with Derek Norris at first base
San Diego Padres catcher Austin Hedges is batting ninth and catching Thursday against the Colorado Rockies.
What It Means:
Derek Norris will start at first base and bat clean-up with lefty Jorge De La Rosa on the mound.
Norris has kept up his lefty-clubbing ways with a 33.3 percent hard-hit rate off of southpaws this season. Hedges has only seen 40 plate appearances against lefties this year, holding a 26.7 percent hard-hit rate on the season. Our algorithms see Norris as the third best catcher on FanDuel all-day slates Thursday and the second best value at the position.
