The idea with Profar was if the exit velocity he added in 2024 was sustained in 2025 we could expect his offensive gains to be real. His average exit velocity in 2024 was 91.1, which was up from 86.5-87.5 the previous years when he was a very mediocre hitter.
Despite his nice numbers in AAA...
It’s really hard to wrap my mind around how many 600 OPS or worse hitters this roster has. There are 13 position players, and 7 of them hit like pitchers.
Literally more than half the hitters on the roster would be bottom 10 hitters in the sport if they qualified. It’s completely ludicrous how...
As bad as Harris has been, the other options may very well be worse. It’s hard to overstate just how terrible half the Braves position players really are.
Is this really a time you want the most talented hitter in the history of the franchise running around on wet grass with 2 rebuilt knees?
I’m thinking this is a good time to rest Ozuna.
FG currently has the playoff odds at 26%, which seems like a decent enough number to avoid punting the season.
However, those odds still have the Braves projected as the 2nd best team in baseball for the rest of the season. I think we all understand that no Sale, Lopez or AJSS in the rotation...
I'm not exactly sure what hitting coaches do at the MLB level, but they have to be the ones responsible for addressing things like this. If not, why does the profession exist?
Murphy is an above average MLB hitter this year, and is the 12th best offensive catcher out of the 32 with 150+ PAs.
Anyone who thinks he’s part of the problem is a complete moron.
