I'll have to do a bit of a deeper dive into the numbers, but I doubt Grichuk has ever had a BB/K ratio or O-Swing% like this over a 17 game stretch before. Even during the best of his times, he usually posted sub .300 OBP's with high SLG%. Take last September as an example.

 

His O-Swing% is substantially lower, his BB% is higher, his K% is lower, and there's clearly a very tangible approach change that we all see in his AB's with the eye test. I think it's safe to assume there has been some approach change. Obviously, the 179 wRC+ is likely not sustainable, but if this approach change can leads to a .250/.330/.500 slashline over the course of a full season, combined with his defense, that contract would be a relative steal. Let's hope it sticks, because it's always been mental with him.

Good stuff. I want to be a believer and the numbers are what they are ^.

 

Not to be a downer but a guy named Kevin Pillar is kicking a wRC+ of 120 so far this season 20 gms. We know that is a mirage.

Markakis: Opts out because he's worried about Covid. Opts back in. May now have Covid.

 

That's morbidly hilarious.
