23 year old was just acquired from Cleveland for cash. Excellent defensive SS who had a poor season at the plate in 2022, but has hit in the past. Precursor to possible DeJong trade?
Is .235 good? And if not, would that be a number that Johnny would consider before paying cash money for a player? I mean, I know DeWitt Jr. likes him and all, but if Mrs. 1TD foolishly throws my money around, it makes me sad…
A BABiP significantly below .300 is often said to signify bad luck by the hitter, or BABiP against significantly below .300 signifying good luck by a pitcher. It is often said that BABiP will gravitate back toward .300 and so a low BA by the batter will go up, or good results by the pitcher will go down. This has been mentioned in the case of Parsons, whose BABiP against was .200 this season. So the common wisdom would be that that Parsons is not really that good and Fermin is not really that bad.
I personally think that BABiP has little to do with luck so that is all a steaming pile.
