And he’s getting extremely unlucky this year. His hard hit and barrel % is over league average. So is his expected BA. His K rate has dropped to 22.5% (down 14% from last year). His BABIP is .271, down 23 points from last year. He’s improved.
It’s a lot like with Dans last year where the production doesn’t measure up to what the batted ball profile states. Or better yet a guy like Ozuna. Plus we are dealing with a 60 game sample size. It’s hard to make huge judgments about guys this year.
