Marcus Semien
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Semien projects as reliable defensive specialist and professional innings-eater at second base for New York Mets in 2026. Primary value derives from elite glove work, providing substantial defensive WAR despite offensive limitations. Offensive projection ranges batting average .240-.260 with 15-20 home runs and continued above-average plate discipline. Expected to bat lower in lineup given power decline. Recovery from foot injury represents key variable—full health by spring training essential for maintaining regular playing time. Better suited for full-time role than platooning given defensive specialization. Final productive years likely rather than multi-year offensive contributor. Best case involves steady defensive presence with minimal offensive production; worst case involves injury complications limiting availability.
