Tommy Pham Struggling Out Of The Gate
4 years agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham is off to a slow start to the 2021 season. Through 10 games, he's slashing .121/.250/.121 with just one RBI. He's yet to record an extra-base hit on the year. He's shown solid plate discipline with five walks and five strikeouts. Despite the lack of any power numbers whatsoever, Pham is making solid contact. He has a hard-hit rate of 48.3% and a barrel rate of 13.8%. He just isn't hitting balls to the right spots right now it appears. He has a BABIP of just .138, well below his career BABIP of .330. Fantasy managers should stay patient for now. The underlying stats inspire confidence that Pham should generate some power numbers soon.
