Team OPS in 2024
Rangers: 22nd in MLB .686
Braves: 12th in MLB: .724
Saying he had success despite the injuries in Texas based on OPS is certainly a take. I do think he'll help with understanding how hitters are being attacked and being better prepared to not swing. His teams seem to do well with BB%.
Honestly the Braves missed Chipper Jones not working with the hitters last year
if they don't listen to the guy who got them 2023 I don't know why they'd listen to anyone else.
