Tommy Edman slugged .500 his first year (349 PAs). He’s since become what we expected…a low power, higher average player.
Nootbaar looks to be on a similar track…not that I expect him to have as little power as Edman, but I suspect that he will have a little better average than this year, less power and a good OBP. That’s a good player to have on rookie salary. If he outperforms that long term, then we will all be thrilled.
