It’s time to worry about Soler. Not quite panic just yet but there’s reason to be concerned.
He had one monster season in 2019 when he hit 48HR. He was worth 3.6 Fwar. However in his other 1400 PA he’s been worth 2.2 combined. He provided +30.4 runs offensively in 2019 but only 0.9 in the rest of his career. In his last 300 PA since 2019, he’s got a wRC+ of about 90. That’s lethal for a DH who can’t field or run. Looking under the hood his hard hit % is 36.5% vs 47% in 2019. All his other statcast data is the same (EV, contact rate, swing rate, chase rate). But he’s pulling the ball 57% vs career of 46%. I wonder if he’s having trouble now turning 29, catching up to heat. So he’s cheating a bit and becoming a dead pull hitter. Pitchers aren’t leaving balls out over the outside edge where he can plow into them, they’re likely pitching him well inside with heat and letting him get himself out. |

Angel Hernandez admitted that he just guessed yesterday. How does this guy still have an MLB job?

On a non-Royals related note............Willie Mays turns 90 tomorrow!
90...........that just doesn't seem possible. I am old enough to remember Mickey, Willie and the Duke roaming centerfield in the Yankee Stadium, The Polo Grounds, and Ebbets Field. Willie Mays........"The Say Hey Kid". One of the greatest to ever play the game. I just cannot fathom that today he is 90 years old. Willie Mays in one of those guys whom will be forever young in my mind. He was a truly remarkable player in baseball's Golden Age. One of the most important players in baseball history. And I remember him vividly from my youth. Happy Birthday to the great Willie Mays!!! And may he have many more. Last edited by theoldcoach; 05-05-2021 at 02:15 PM.. |
