The Rangers’ first baseman, Prince Fielder, has always been a fan-favorite to watch.
Standing at 5′ 11” and 275 pounds, Fielder leads in every offensive category on the team except home runs. His 13 home runs is second-best to Mitch Moreland, who has 14.
Otherwise, his .347 average and 50 RBIs leads the team.
In his last seven games, Fielder is 8-24 (.333) with a home run and two RBIs. In the series against Anaheim this last weekend, Fielder went 5-13 with a homer and two runs scored.
With all of these impressive numbers under his belt, Fielder easily is the best hitter on the team.
On top of all of that, Fielder was named the loner Ranger (if you will) to the All-Star Game next week in Cincinnati. 2015 will be his sixth All-Star game of his career.
