Ben Verlander's Team of the Week is back for 2024! See who made his first list of the new MLB season and why Juan Soto didn't make the cut.
What a first week it's been in MLB! Welcome back to my Team of the Week series, where each Monday I reveal my selections for the top player at every position on 'Flippin' Bats.' As always, my squads include nine position players, a designated hitter, a starting pitcher and a closer. Spoil alert: New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto did not make the cut.
462 batting average, 3 HR, 1.674 OPS The Diamondbacks re-signing Gurriel was one of the most underrated moves of the offseason, and he showed why with a great first week. Outfield: Michael Harris II, Atlanta Braves.667 batting average, 1 HR, 1.811 OPS The Flippin' Bats bump is alive and well for 2024! Harris, who we had on the show recently, sneakily had an amazing second half last season after a terrible first few months. Expect a breakout season from the 23-year-old outfielder.
