Lead off hitter ?

[Joeythebigboss]

Who's the best lead off hitter in the game to you ? I'm seriously thinking about getting Dee Gordon his stats look nasty for leading off !! But boy is he expensive.

Dee Gordon would definitely be up there. Otherwise I like Manny Machado, Jose Reyes, Brett Gardner, and Mookie Betts.

Just the ones I can think of off the top of my head

I've been using Christian Yelich for my DD lead off batter. He's been working out great. He pretty regularly gets on base with either a single or double for me.

I have Dee Gordon and he's a virtual lock for a 1-0 lead after the first inning.

Probably out of your price range but Tony Gwynn has 99 ConR, 98 ConL and 99 Vision so I'd say he's the best purely based off contact.

I've just started DD and I am playing to conquest mode. I am currently using Delino Deshields Jr as my lead off man. He is inexpensive and has been working pretty well for me.

I have Jose Reyes in my leadoff spot. He has a good skill set for a leadoff man (switch hitter, 80 speed and contact in the 70-80 range) and plays solid defense at SS. Doesn't hurt that he was a game reward either!

Dee is my lead off guy. Hits lefties as well as righties. And that speed is crazy. I'll agree with CougTilDeath, when he gets on, it's basically already 1-0.

I go back and forth with Jose Altuve and Kevin Kiermaier.

A cheap option for me that's been working out great in DD has been Billy Burns.

I thought about Billy Burns but his lack of arm strength really turned me away from him. Right now I'm going with Xander Bogearts and he's a beast at getting on base. Just wish he had a little more speed. A solid inexpensive option is Eric Young Jr. from the Brewers. Usually a pinch runner for me, but the few times I started him, once he gets on, he causes mayhem on the base paths.

I am working on Ichiro. I think he will be the best all year

Starling Marte is killing it for me he has some pop too i have 3 leadoff hrs with him

Re: Lead off hitter ?

I'm working on commanding the Royals, so I've been using Dyson and his 98 speed. He also hit a 2 run homer on HOF against the Cubs stronghold.

Re: Lead off hitter ?

I love 93 Ichiro and 90 Crawford. Those are 2 great ones. I have also used Marte in BR a couple times and he is really good with lots of pop.
