He was named an All-Star 12 years after his Major League debut, and also won the Silver Slugger in the National League Outfielder category. He also ranked 14th in the MVP voting.
As a result, Profar, who was worried about his survival in the Major League, successfully secured a three-year contract to 42 million U.S. dollars. He made a splendid comeback after being forced to retire.
Profar is expected to take charge of left field in Atlanta. Atlanta suffered a severe slump in hitting last year. Therefore, he is expected to have high expectations on Profar.
