Speaking of guys that walk around the same rate as they strikeout, wtf is up with Vinnie? He's struck out 19 times in May with only 5 walks. He's had 13 games with a strikeout and 5 this month. He only had 5 double digit strikeout games his entire rookie year and he only had 6 double digit strike out games all of last year. From May 9th to May 30th of this year, so 18 games he had all 5 of those double digit strikeout games. During that 18 game stretch he's had just 2 walks to 17 strikeouts.
I think he's starting to press and is probably frustrated by his shitty luck. He has a .234 BABIP (Avg of last 2 years his BABIP of .279), but his EV is the highest it's ever been 91.8 (Avg of last 2 years 90.1 EV). His hard hit percent is 47% which is just behind his best season which was his rookie season in which he had a 47.1% HH%. It was 40.5% last year.
I'm hoping he doesn't let this go to his head and this is all a case of small sample size. Fingers crossed that his surgery didn't **** his bat speed. I love the Pasquatch and wanna see him crush it.
