Duran vs LHP:
OBP 391
wRC+ 120
His power is down vs LHP (421 SLG vs 627 SLG), but he's not overwhelmed or showing a horrible split. Granted it's only 19 AB's vs 75 against RHP. Still working on a very SSS.
Nice to see Crawford and Whitlock pitch well in rehab starts.
Didn't realize Mata was on the IL with shoulder inflamation. Not a surprise as that dude doesn't stay healthy
CJ Liu is an interesting arm as he seems to be a low floor/MLB ceiling guy. Not sure he would be an MLB starter, but probably could be a multi-inning reliever.
As of today:
140 wRC+
381 OBP top 14 percentile xOBP
888 OPS
9.7 BB%
9.7 K% top 3 percentile
Even adding in his early adjustments, he's been good at baseball.
If you're going to fight endlessly with another poster at least make it entertaining. The ongoing feud between you and moon has no juice. It's just two old cranks yelling past each other with nothing of interest to note.
Casas has hit really well the past two weeks. All of his metrics (k%, EV, WOBA) of trending in the right direction even as some of these other guys are going the other way.
May:
wRC+ 147
OPS 915
k% 17.5
