Re: Guess the Player Reply #3 – June 27, 2023, 10:22:23 PM Can't be Trout; he's having an MVP season. I'll go with . . . . Judge? I don't see his name on any of the Leaderboards as it should be after his monster MVP campaign last season. Quote Selected
Re: Guess the Player Reply #4 – June 27, 2023, 10:33:01 PM Correct answer is Judge. But the question is slightly misleading as he’s batting .271/.367/.583 with 18 HR vs RHP so it’s not like he’s in any danger of being waived But the vs LHP stats are more than a little odd since he had a 1.010 OPS vs LHP in real life.

Re: Guess the Player Reply #5 – June 27, 2023, 11:03:39 PM A little odd?He's dwarfed by muscleman JP Crawford whose OPS is .476 vs LHP. Albeit that's Crawford's strong side. as he's .457 vs RHP. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Guess the Player Reply #6 – June 27, 2023, 11:26:42 PM Ha ha. I agree with you, it’s really odd. And 73 AB is enough to take the ‘small sample size’ argument out of the equation as well. Quote Selected
Re: Guess the Player Reply #7 – June 27, 2023, 11:46:54 PM Woe unto the LHP's if Judge performs well enuff to get over .800 OPS vs lefties. There will be much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, biblically speaking. Quote Selected
Re: Guess the Player Reply #8 – June 28, 2023, 03:52:20 PM That's crazy!My version of players not performing even CLOSE to their real life numbers: Freddie Freeman (.348), Jose Ramirez (.359), and Will Smith (.365) - all .150 to .200 points below their real life OPS. It's painful. Quote Selected
Re: Guess the Player Reply #9 – June 28, 2023, 04:13:03 PM What I noticed when studying your three mentioned players as well as Judge is that one "handedness" is relatively "normal" while the other side is drastically skewed from expectations. I don['t know if that's true for the majority of underachievers but it's an interesting point. Quote Selected 1 Likes
