https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTf00TWFfD8 Sorry, I don't know how to post where it just shows up in the forum. It's roughly 40 min long. -
If you want to believe Statcast, in 41 games Mullins has had 14 catch opportunities that were non-routine. So, one play every three games? Instinctively that sounds about right to me. Anyway, the whole reason stats like WAR exist is to attempt to weigh offense and defense and balance their impact appropriately. Mullins has been worth 0.3 rWAR, 0.1 fWAR. So basically, better than replacement level but not good enough to be an average starter on a big league team. That’s for now. Mullins has a track record and the O’s aren’t going to give up on him or relinquish his starting spot after 41 games. It’s not like Mullins has been terrible all year, either. He’s basically been in a really deep slump for a month, after hitting well (.859 OPS) for the first 18 games. He will get every opportunity to dig himself out of it. And no, he won’t start switch hitting again. That ship has sailed. -

Right. But May 2023 is also an outlier. Usually outliers don't re-occur. Put them together and you get typical Jorge Mateo. Jorge Mateo vs. LHP since joining the Orioles back in 2021: 103 wRC+. With great defense. That's a contributor. He's just being asked to do something he's not. He should not be starting vs. RHP. -

I’m not throwing it out. It happened. But it’s a clear outlier in his career. That is obvious. Usually outliers don’t re-occur. -
He might just be adjusting to his new role and knowing he has to save some as a possible long man.
