Honestly, I’m much more concerned about Tate than Akin.
91.7 mph avg velocity on the sinker. 11.4% K rate. 11.4% BB rate. 91.8 mph exit velocity. 53.8% hard hit rate. 9.8% whiff rate. 14.5% chase rate. 3.8% swinging strike rate.
4.50 ERA. 5.70 FIP. 5.49 xFIP. 5.06 SIERRA. 6.30 xERA. 84 stuff+ on sinker. 88 location+ on sinker.
The ground ball rate is still good, but I’m not sure that’s going to be enough to save him.
Facing Ragans today. Must starts include Rutschman, Mountcastle, and McCann.
Must sit is Holliday.
I think Adley might DH today unless Burnes insists on him catching his stuff.
Ben McDonald mentioned the leg kick maybe not working in the MLB. He is going to have to make an adjustment it seems like. Just way too many swings and misses.
I thought you were mistaken on the silver slugger award. I had to look it up. That was a very low bar and he benefited greatly by being in the utility category.
Gunnar is a special player and I would sign him to an extension as the primary goal. Obviously I would have all three on the team as long as they could, though.
