Most Batted Balls with exit velocity of 115 MPH or above in 2015

On MLBNow Stanton first. By a lot. Trumbo tied with Nelson Cruz and Jose Bautista for number three in all of baseball.

It is an extreme Statcast segment.

We've forgotten about Trumbo a bit. I think he'll have a good season for us with the bat. Would not be at all surprised to see him return to 30 HRs hitting in the AL East.

Including college ball? :scratchchinhmm:

Trumbo isn't going to be a batting champ, but I do think that with a regular spot in the lineup and a clean bill of health, he will hit plenty of homers this year. This is a starting lineup that could have four 30 homer guys in Davis, Jones, Machado and Trumbo.

No, they were talking about the Big Leagues. Sorry.

Don't know about 2016, but look at what Jonathan Schoop did in half a season last year. Could be five.

I saw a 5-year-old in a T-ball league last fall that was hitting some wicked line drives.

Only extreme? Not eXXtreme?

Have to think that rabbit ball they use in Korea would lead to some hard hit balls.

Right. Correct.

Steamer has him projected for about a .760 OPS, which would be a huge improvement on the DH spot from last year. However, that doesn't include the DH penalty... I'm thinking we are more likely to get about a .730 (obviously SLG heavy), or around a league average hitter.

Something like .240/.290/.440 would be my mid-case projection.

So done with this team if DD doesn't make an actual effort to sign this kid. I don't want to hear about interest, I want to see results!

I'm very bullish on Trumbo in OPACY. Put me down for .780+.

So, you're assuming he has his second best season of his career and he is one of the extremely rare diamonds who has no DH penalty?
