Chandler Simpson, a notable outfielder renowned for his speed, was recently promoted to the Tampa Bay Rays from Triple-A Durham following the injury of Richie Palacios. Last season, he stole 104 bases and achieved a .355 batting average—leading all minor leagues. Drafted in 2022, he has quickly risen to be the Rays' No. 7 prospect, noted for his unique play style reminiscent of baseball legends. He was batting .301 with eight steals before his call-up, suggesting a bright future ahead with the major league team.
"I would buy a ticket to watch him play; I just wouldn't miss the first four pitches because he might already be in the dugout with a run on the scoreboard."
"In theory, he adds an element to any lineup with how fast he is, his contact ability. I think he's going to get an opportunity here, a little bit of a runway."
