The contract also includes a team option for the 2024 season. In 2021, Rosario had 98 hits, 62 RBI, 42 runs in 379 at-bats. He also had 14 home runs, a .305 OBP, a .740 OPS, and a 0.5 WAR. However, it was the playoffs where Rosario truly shone. He had 14 hits, three home runs, six runs, nine RBI, a .607 OBP, and a 1.647 OPS in 25 at-bats in the NLCS. That performance earned Rosario the Championship Series MVP.
Atlanta went on to win the franchise’s fourth World Series beating the Houston Astros in six games.
Over his seven-year MLB career, Rosario has 836 hits, 450 RBI, 442 runs, and 133 home runs in 3,040 at-bats. He also has a .278 AVG, a .309 OBP, and a .782 OPS. He becomes a much more valuable commodity with the addition of the universal designated hitter.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Atlanta Braves are +1300 to win the 2022 World Series.
