I don’t get it. We have a shortstop and a third baseman under control for two more years.

I was looking at the Astros’ Exit Velocity/Barrels on Statcast. Brendan Rodgers has surprisingly good numbers. He leads the team in EV50 (avg. of hardest 50% batted balls). He also has the best “hard hit %” and is 2nd in barrels/PA. His SLG is .310, but his expected SLG is .455.

Here are the 5-game rolling wRC+ charts for Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, and Jake Meyers. Who is who? They all show random variation.

No Astros player has more than 20 plate appearances. With such a minuscule sample size, random variation dramatically impacts a player’s results.
This chart from Tom Tango’s “The Book” shows the random variation if every player had the same .330 on-base percentage.

It’s no surprise. The $60 I pay for my @fangraphs.com membership is worth every penny. You don’t have to use FanGraphs as much as I do to make it worth supporting.

For Christmas, I bought myself a hobby box of Allen & Ginter and pulled a 1/1 Ryan Mountcastle autographed lineup card relic!
