Fletcher went 2-for-6 with three RBI in in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year old knocked in a pair of go-ahead runs on a single in extra innings. Fletcher looks to pick up on where he left off the past couple of seasons and can prove to be a reliable leadoff hitter for an explosive Angels offense, as he slashed .319/.376/.425 in 2020.

Fletcher agreed Thursday with the Angels on a five-year, $26 million contract extension, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. The deal includes two additional team options that could push the total value of the extension to $41 million, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
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 one 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.

Fletcher will function as the Angels' everyday second baseman this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
