Jose Ramirez Hits .245 In May, Now Hitting .213 On Season
5 years agoCleveland Indians second baseman Jose Ramirez followed up his atrocious month of April with a slightly less atrocious May. The consensus top-10 pick going into the year now has just four home runs and 17 RBI through 56 games. Despite his struggles, there is still a good amount to like about his peripheral numbers. He has a hard-hit rate of 37.3 percent, which is a career best, and he is still showing great plate discipline with a walk rate of 12.3 percent and a strikeout rate of 15.3 percent. His five percent HR/FB rate has a ton of room for growth, as he had a 16.9 percent HR/FB rate last year. He's been a massive headache for fantasy owners all year, but it's recommended to not sell too low on him. There are too many indicators that promise the elite player you paid for is still on the horizon.
