He also has diamond fielding and can play SS, 2B or 3B.</li> <li>Topps Now Jose Abreu (97) has 110 contact vs. left-handed pitching and 125 power vs. right-handed pitching. He has relatively low vision and poor fielding.</li> <li>Topps Now Kenta Maeda (98) has 118 H/9, 110 K/9 and a five-pitch mix that includes a sinker.</li> <li>Topps Now Lucas Giolito (99) has maxed out H/9 and 109 K/9 to go with his standard four-pitch mix that’s been featured before in his Players League card.</li> </ul> <p>This is the sixth batch of Topps Now players, and I think it’s the final set of players before the “lightning” player, which most likely will be Fernando Tatis Jr. at this point since Abreu got a card this week, and Bieber has already been featured as well.

The other moment that might be a little tricky is 3 XBH in one game because, again, even on rookie that can be a little fickle at times.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">New Players And Their Attributes</h3> <a href="https://www.operationsports.com/mlb-the-show-20-topps-now-lucas-giolito-among-6-new-moments-players/#gallery-47647-1-slideshow">Click to view slideshow.</a><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.operationsports.com/mlb-the-show-20-topps-now-lucas-giolito-among-6-new-moments-players/">MLB The Show 20: Topps Now Lucas Giolito Among 6 New Moments Players</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.operationsports.com">Operation Sports</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.operationsports.com/mlb-the-show-20-topps-now-lucas-giolito-among-6-new-moments-players/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>-1</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">47647</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
