Does it hurt to see those numbers? Of course, but you should also realize just 15 percent of the season has been played. Be patient!
It is frustrating to see your best players, the guys who cost the most at draft time, struggle. They are your cornerstones. They’re supposed to carry your squad to fantasy glory.For instance, Corbin Carroll has barely struck out and ranks seventh in stolen bases, but he hit just .208 with a .582 OPS in his first 112 plate appearances. Aaron Judge, despite his 16.1 percent walk rate, was hitting .186 after 118 plate appearances. Randy Arozarena owned the sixth-worst average in the league.
Francisco Lindor raised his average from a horrendous .103 on April 13 to a still very ugly .206 after going 14-for-39 with three homers, eight RBIs and a 1.046 OPS. Yes, he entered Friday with the fourth-worst batting average in the majors while striking out in 37.5 percent of his at-bats, and owning the 11th-lowest slugging percentage and third-worst on-base percentage.
It doesn’t change the fact he hit .280 with 72 homers, 304 RBIs and a .869 OPS over seven seasons in the minors.Jones still hits the ball hard, with his max exit velocity ranking in the top 50. His overall contact rate and contact rate on pitches inside the strike zone are up. His sprint speed is in the 82nd percentile, and he is still walking 8.3 percent of the time. He has been taking more pitches in the zone, being more passive rather than attacking. That can change.
– Opponents are hitting .063 against the Rangers’ Kirby Yates, who didn’t allow a run over his first nine appearances and is 1-0 with three saves, six strikeouts and only one hit allowed in his past four outings .
