For now, let’s talk about eight hitters who have seen increased playing time recently or have been recently recalled.
The biggest issue here is his strikeout rate, which has jumped above 30% thanks to a spike in SwStr%.
For as long as he’s starting, he’s worth playing in AL-Only leagues and gets a minor boost in OBP leagues given his above average walk rate compared to his expected low batting average.
However, his SwStr% barely budged and was much higher than you would normally see paired with a low-20% strikeout rate.
His walk rate jumped to a career best 15.2%, while his strikeout rate improved also to a career best, dropping below 20% for the first time.
