7 game hit streak with 4 extra base hits, 1 single off the monster, 1 HR and 4 multi hit games, 14-30, avg went from .262 to .280, 8 runs, 6 RBIs
Some people just like crying lol
That's for sure, but the Syndergaard guy is pretty cheap on a 1 year contract and LAA will probably take anything at this point. Pretty solid back end starter for the rest of the season imo
So given Volpe has the same batted ball approach Volpe will not hit for average and his batted ball approach has been stable every season. Orelvis' increase in FB% has been directly related to changing swings/approaches/adjusting to offspeed which has increased dramatically in volume and quality. Between the 2, Orelvis' numbers will noramlize over time vs Volpe
I agreed long ago that the high FB% is feeding into a low BABIP, but he is not an extreme flyball hitter like Gallo and the numbers show it
It will be fixed naturally through reps and getting the recognition and approach down and in sync with which ever swing they narrow down for him to use. Getting out front on the abnormally large amount of breaking balls he has seen has lead to more flyouts than he normally would have given a normal pitch distribution
You applied two different thought process and logic to the same numbers because you are trying to force the numbers to say what you want. That is not analytical
Looking at Volpe he is a career 50% flyball hitter in the minors with a 5% max variation between seasons. Orelvis is just a bit under 50% and has a 18.5% variation in flyball % between seasons. If you want to say 1 of them is an extreme flyball hitter....it is Volpe not Orelvis
Gallo for reference at the same stage of his career averaged in the 55+% range and varied a max of 10% between seasons (never being under 50%)
