Geno Development #2: Less three outcomes
Eugenio Suarez has always been a true three-outcome player. That means he'll walk a little, mash a few homers, and strike out a lot. But, small sample size be damned, this season feels slightly different.
Three Outcomes | Percentages |
---|---|
Walk | 5.0% |
Strikeout | 28.7% |
Homer | 1HR every 40 AB |
While the strikeouts and homers are down, so is the walk rate. These stats mean Suarez puts the ball in play at career-high rates. Combine this adjustment with the hard-hit rate, and we might see sustained success in more traditional categories (BA, OBP).
