Impact The 26-year-old was able to work out a long-term pact with the Halos just hours before the team opened its season with a four-game series against the White Sox. Since reaching the majors in 2018, Fletcher has become of baseball's preeminent contact hitters; he owns a career .292 average while striking out in only 10.3 percent of his plate appearances. This extension locks Fletcher in as the Angels' table setter for the next half decade.

Settling in at second base Fletcher will function as the Angels' everyday second baseman this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fletcher bounced around often during his first three big-league seasons, logging frequent time at second base as well as shortstop, third base and the outfield. He played more games (27) at shortstop last season than his 15 games at second base, due largely to Andrelton Simmons' injury woes. However, the Angels traded for a new starting shortstop in Jose Iglesias in the offseason, allowing Fletcher to settle in at second base. Still, it wouldn't be surprising to see him log time at other positions when needed.
