He has played at the MLB level beginning around 2021. Meyers’ momentum numbers don’t be guaranteed to leap off the page, however he is having his best MLB season yet. The Astros have offered him a chance and Meyers has shown the capacity to contribute at the MLB level.

He is a player who can move around the outfield if essential. Meyers offers a good measure of force and can likewise take bases.

Phillies’ outfield questions

Does exchanging for Jake Meyers or another outfielder seem OK for the Phillies?

Scratch Castellanos has battled in 2024 however he has a demonstrated history. He’s likewise rigorously a corner outfielder.

Brandon Swamp is harmed. Swamp can play centerfield when solid, yet has additionally invested energy in left field. Whit Merrifield is a flexible player yet he presently can’t seem to get things rolling disagreeably. In the interim, Johan Rojas is the Phillies centerfielder right now, however his hostile creation has been not great.

Adding Meyers would give the Phillies an update over Rojas and Merrifield. In any event, Meyers could act as a profundity choice. However, he could be a regular player too.

Phillies fans would presumably really like to exchange for a star like Kyle Exhaust. Each group that makes a profound postseason run will in general element neglected players who have beneficial outcomes, in any case. Jake Meyers could be one of those players for the Phillies as they plan for one more postseason run in 2024
