What’s your 2022 OPS Projection for Ramon Urias?

[Frobby]

Ramon Urias managed a .774 OPS last year in 296 PA, and including a few at bats in 2020, his career OPS in the majors is .790.  Previously, he had a .775 OPS in the minors and .863 in Mexico.   What do you think he can put up in 2022?

I went with 730-769.  I think he takes a step a back in a full-time role, but he's a good enough hitter to be a 2nd division regular at 2b.

Dude has always hit but the big question is, if they give him 500+ at bats, can he sustain it?

As of now, it appears they will and I think he ends up in the area of 750.  Solid BA/OBP but lacking in power.  Could benefit from the new LF wall though.

Urias is a guy that is between a starter and utility player for me. I think the OPS drops in a full season, but I also think he's earned the chance for us to find out. He may ultimately be a good utility guy when this team is good again, but for now, lets see if he can sustain it in 500+ ABs or if he's better in a 300-400 PA role.

.730-.769 - Last year was a great year for him.  Doubt he can keep up the pace.  

Edit to add:  weird case where his MLB stats heading into 2022 are better than his minor league stats.

His defensive stats in the minors were much better at 2B than SS.   I see him as the O's starting 2B that backs up SS.

I see no reason why he can't replicate his career average. He had a slight reverse split so I don't anticipate RHP being a problem. Seems like a solid consistent professional hitter.

I think that might be the better plan long term, but I expect Odor to get a lot of playing time at 2B.  When that happens, Urias will play SS.  Not a fan of Odor signing, I expect him to be realized by June.

I said over .850 so if it happens I can be the only one to pick it

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

I’m being optimistic and went with .770 - .809. I think Urias is going to surprise again with another good season.

61% had Urias (.720) in the .730-.769 range, while another 11% had him at .690-.729.   All those answers were pretty good considering that the league was down 30 points.
