Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm hit a double and scored two runs in Tuesday’s loss against Atlanta Braves. He has safely recorded a hit 20 times in 24 games in May.

Bryant recently returned from […]

Eduardo Escobar Drawing Plenty Of Walks Early

New York Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar is hitting .209 with a .310 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 171 plate appearances this season.

Hitter Advanced Metrics Risers and Fallers - xBA for Week 7

Last week, we dove into xwOBA (expected weighted on-base average) to see who is really maximizing their time at the plate. It's time we look at xBA (expected batting average) but with a twist. Some players are experiencing better batted-ball fortunes than others and it's bound to turn around at some point. Rather than examining […]

Patrick Wisdom Homers In Fourth Consecutive Game

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer off of Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Vladimir Gutierrez on Monday. The streaky slugger will strike out a ton and won't help out your batting average, but when he gets hot, he can put up monster numbers in a short period of time. He […]
