Signed as a 2nd baseman, Obeso played all but one game in LF. He spent the entire year batting 3rd, where he was a consistent contributor. He finished with almost a 3:1 walk to strike out rate (58:20) and finished 2nd in the league in walks. He lead the league in hits with 92, which allowed him to finish 4th in average (.351), 8th in RBI (47), 11th in OPS (.897)and 2nd in OBP (.470) . His best month was in June when he hit .340, 3 triples, and 18 RBI; although, ever month was very solid.
