Whiff rate is concerning. Not worried about the avg exit velo because his ev50 is above average (And Tom Tango would argue that it tells you more about a hitter than avg exit velocity).
30-30 season inbound!
I like the bones of this team this year. Have been competitive in every game other than the opener and the one Cardinals game (those were pretty close until the 8th in each game).
Paris, Trout, O’Hoppe, Neto, Soler look they will be somewhere between above average to great hitters this year. Rengifo and Ward should pick it up to be league average to above average and Schanuel is a league average hitter roughly. Bullpen looks solid to me, rotation I question still but everyone has gone at least 5 innings in every game this year which is a big accomplishment! Hendricks looks like a solid pickup considering the cost.
Maybe im on the hopium, but with the AL West and AL being weaker in general this year. I think we could compete for a wild card. Just please stay healthy this year (knock on wood). If we can be like 5 games above .500 at the deadline, maybe we can bolster the rotation
Lots of swing and miss but when he connects he’s doing damage. His contact rates are lower than last year as well.
The comforting thing is that he is still taking pitches out of the zone at an above average rate, which is why he’s got a great walk rate so far.
He is going to have some ugly strikeouts but he has also shown he can take his walks so far, now that it’s possible that he can launch one into the stratosphere at any point.
