Logs multi-hit game Saturday
Newman started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Astros.
ANALYSIS
With Ketel Marte being brought back slowly from an ankle injury -- he was the designated hitter Saturday for a second straight game -- Newman got the start at second base against a left-hander. His solo blast in the fourth inning, when Arizona was still in the game, was his third homer of the season and first since April 26. Newman's in the middle of a nice run, going 8-for-18 with a home run and five RBI over his last six games and notching multiple hits in four of them.

Stat Review
How does Kevin Newman compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2016
Newman had relatively high expectations given his status as the 19th overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft. He had a promising first full season in the big leagues in 2019, but he has since struggled to find a carrying tool. In theory, that's his ability to make consistent contact, but his career 11.7 percent strikeout rate has translated to just a .260 average. That's caused by his lack of barrels and hard contact, as he has only 20 home runs across 1,663 career plate appearances - translating to just a .096 ISO. Newman does boast some speed, but he has 14 combined stolen bases across the last three seasons and is 30-for-43 on the basepaths for his career. An offseason trade to the Reds also doesn't do him any favors, as Jonathan India and Jose Barrero are likely to start the season at Newman's natural positions of second and third base, respectively.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see time at third base
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Newman could receive some playing time at third base in the near future, reports Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic.
ANALYSIS
Eugenio Suarez continues to work as Arizona's primary third baseman, with Blaze Alexander mixing in, but the former is hitting .141 in June while the latter is mired in a 3-for-24 slump. Newman has had a reduced role over the past couple weeks due to Geraldo Perdomo being back from the injured list. Newman's .712 OPS through 55 games would be his best since 2019, but he's unlikely to provide a significant offensive boost for the Diamondbacks.
