Adam Duvall Crushes Pinch-Hit, Walk-Off Home Run
7 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Duvall hit a pinch-hit, walk-off home run on Monday, lifting the Reds over the Mets in 10 innings. The blast was Duvall's sixth of the season. Duvall has started off slow this season, batting just .176 and has had to worry about sharing a crowded outfield with Billy Hamilton, Scott Schebler, and Jesse Winker. However, Duvall has been unlucky on balls hit in play (.183 BABIP vs. a career .270 BABIP) and is posting career-low strikeout rates (23.9%) and career-high walk rates (10.4%). All of these stats suggest that positive regression is on the way. Coupled with his power potential, Duvall is worth a look in deep points leagues.
