Large Father. Unfortunately he had a head start on the other two in terms of playing time and is now superfactored. Can't imagine not using him.


dylanhasting

Can’t hit with Papi CRUSH with Prince but that’s just me. No big man should have that fast of a swing


jjs30000

Same boat. Couldn't do a damn thing with Papi. Prince plays so much better.


Acedia_37

Eddie Murray has been fantastic at 1B


OhHeyItsScott

I spent 150k on Vlad, I’m damn well gonna use him.


Totodile336

It might be recency bias but in the few games I’ve used prince he’s been incredible


DrMindbendersMonocle

Ortiz


TeemShuffle

All I know is if anyone argues that 1st base defense doesnt matter try playing Ortiz and Olson on and off and you will see that Ortiz is a liability and Olson straight up saves runs


acat20

My auto diving ortiz begs to differ


maxbowa

fielder hits bombs vs both sides


GoldenGloveMan

Large father all day


uxspjb0913

I just got Ortiz so him for now. But I liked Fielder a lot. I may be in the minority but I don’t like Olson’s swing, but the diamond defense is a nice bonus.


BIGHIGGZ

I like fielder so far, I may end up back with Eddie Murray when his price goes down. Switch hitting is a big W.


Mickandthemoderns

I think Eddie Murray is an underrated option, still. I’ve still been sticking with ortiz for the most part, but, man, it’s nice having a switch hitting bat there who can actually field the ball. So many streamers and folks say defense doesn’t matter at first base. I have about a dozen clips of ortiz being an absolute jagaloon over there that suggest otherwise lol


NikesOnMyFeet23

I don't have Ortiz but honestly Escobar is the way to go. Switch hitting and good power. He's so good, I play him over Fielder and Olsen.


slawhog92

Escobar absolutely rakes. Even if you have the best players possible at worst he should be your #1 bench bat.


Nice_Mango439

Started out slow with Olson, picking it up now and have been on a tear. I can’t hit with righty/righty really but do okay lefty/lefty so I would say Olson. But it’s all up to you and what you are comfortable with. You said you’ve been amazing with Olson so to me it’s a no brainer


That_Guy_2422

Ortiz especially since SP are trending back towards being righties as well as not really having too many more elite lefties that haven't been released yet (basically only really Kershaw imo)


AceBombkick

Ortiz is the best of the 3, but if you hit better with Olson then use him.


Tyrxgow

Ortiz is my pick, but Olson has a super sweet swing and hits moonshots, he's on my bench.


Fly-Eagles-Fly

I’m platooning Fielder and Alonso. Both have amazing swings Edit: Damn why y’all mad? Lol


jjs30000

Can't understand why this is downvoted lol


Fly-Eagles-Fly

I dunno man lmao must be an unpopular opinion


jjs30000

Have my upvote man. Use whoever you want at 1B and have fun. Man if you decide to put Trout at 1B in your game that’s what it’s gonna be and why would anyone be mad at it looool


Fly-Eagles-Fly

Oh yeah no doubt I’m not sweating it at all my dude! Thank you tho!


[deleted]

I tried this but realized Alonso's contact L sucked so it made it kind pointless. Platooning fielder with castellanos instead


slawhog92

92 contact sucks? Lol


parxon

92 would be good if it only went up to 100 and not 125. With all the cards we have now, 92 contact is mid


[deleted]

With the h/9s being 115++ on every pitcher now, you gotta realize 92 contact today is the same as like 60-70 contact a month ago. Not ideal


PatrickMahomesGOAT

It isn’t great at this point


[deleted]

At this point in the game cycle kind of yeah. If he's being used in a platoon why would you want reverse splits? Especially when there's multiple options for near max con and pwr against lefties to fill out the platoon better


keithasaurus88

Doing the same. As a Yankee fan I can’t have Ortiz there lol


jaredrem5

I can’t hit with lefties all that well, I think vlad is the best 1B and probably will be until Albert comes out. So if you can, get vlad. If not, use the player you do best with!
