Jeff McNeil

I have a soft spot for players like Jeff McNeil, the kind of versatile contributor every winning roster secretly depends on. The nickname "Squirrel" suits a hitter who sprays the ball everywhere and can man multiple positions without complaint. Winning a batting title and a Silver Slugger in 2022 proves he is far more than a utility afterthought. In an era obsessed with launch angle and home run totals, McNeil's contact-first, do-everything game feels almost refreshingly old-school. I find that adaptability genuinely valuable, and I would happily build a lineup around a player so willing to do whatever the team needs.
