The D-backs announced Friday that theyve signed right-handed-hitting outfielders and to minor league contracts. Both have been invited to major league spring training. Arizona has been on the lookout for right-handed-hitting bats to complement lefty-hitting designated hitter as well as lefty outfielders and . The Snakes recently signed to a one-year, , and hell get the first crack at that role as a result. However, both Garlick and Almora make some sense for a team seeking additional right-handed depth in the outfield though the pair brings fairly different skill sets. Garlick, 32, is Keven Durant Jersey a cla sic lefty masher who offers limited defensive value in the outfield corners. Hes hit just .240 with a .289 OBP against lefties in his career but has slugged a hefty .510 against them. Garlick has popped 14 homers and 10 doubles in just 208 plate appearances against southpaws at the MLB level. Hes a career .207/.264/.348 hitter against righties, however. Garlick has spent the past three seasons in the Twins organization and has been used far more often against lefties than righties, as one would expect. As for the 29-year-old Almora, hes more of a glove-first option in the outfield with le s power but solid all-around production against southpaws. The former Cubs top prospect is a .259/.300/.383 hitter in 1605 big league plate appearances including .267/.321/.389 against left-handed pitching. Almora has ample experience at all three outfield spots and offers a plus glove at each of the three. The bulk of his production at the MLB level came early in his career; he didnt appear in the majors last season and posted a tepid .219/.265/.344 line in 686 plate appearances from 2019-22.
