Los Angeles Dodgers: Bold predictions for Corey Seager in 2019

1. Corey Seager hits .300 with 30 home runs

Corey Seager hitting .300 on the season is far from a bold prediction. Seager has one of the truest swings in baseball and is on the very short list of guys that can consistently post a .300 batting average year in and year out.

Seager hit .308 in his rookie year and was on pace to hit over .300 in 2017 before a very cold August and September, which was likely due to his nagging elbow, that lowered his batting average to .295.

There is not a doubt in my mind that a full and healthy season for Seager would lead to a batting average above .300. While he likely will not yet hit his ceiling average wise, somewhere around .310 to .315 is where he is going to land.

As for the career-high, Seager is going to set that mark with his power stroke. Seager has pop in his swing that is a product of his consistent hard contact. His best year power-wise is still his rookie year, in which he slugged 26 home runs.

Twenty-five seems to be a good number for Seager but he is going to exceed those expectations and slug more than 30 home runs this season. We all know how much the Dodgers love to hit home runs and that approach will translate to Seager, who is already going to be making hard contact in most of his at-bats.

We tend to forget how young these guys are and Seager still only has two full years under his belt and will be just 25 in April. He hasn’t even scratched the surface of his power yet.
