Although the 2023 numbers may seem dissimilar to this year:
HR
2023 4 in 81 AB
2024 4 in 68 AB
BB%
2023 14.8%
2024 16.2%
K%
2023 6.2%
2024 4.4%
While he is slightly better across the board in all categories, the numbers are markedly similar.
The main difference is that:
BABIP
2023: .190
2024: .347
Whether that’s a case of bad luck in 2023, or some newfound skillset I’m not sure.
