Dylan Carlson emerging as Rookie of the Year candidate
Carlson has had a very slow 2021 season. He hasn’t exactly had a season that he had one role, either. With Tyler O’Neill, Harrison Bader, and other outfielders all having injuries and sluggish starts, Carlson did not start the season with an established role.
He also didn’t have a set spot in the lineup as he has appeared in several different slots.
He does seem to have found his groove in either the fifth or sixth position. And he has come into his own as the team’s right fielder.
The ground covered on this Dylan Carlson catch... simply amazing. 🤯🤯🤯
