Yes he’s almost always platooned and yes he strikes out a lot and yes the other guys on the list had much bigger sample sizes but we have been seeing something special with Wallner so far.
(Also I updated the tweet a bit to account for his performance in yesterday’s game)
I wonder how many others (Sano is a fun thought) were on this pace but fell off.
I’m not saying that will happen to Wallner, but keep your expectations in check
Where is Royce on this list?
So sick to see him figure it out and make his way back into the lineup. Love to see a hometown kid thriving!
