Two months of the season is almost complete and I think its a good opportunity to look at some of the numbers. Who is performing at an elite level? Who's not? Check out some of the numbers below. Please note these numbers were recorded through the games played as of May 19th and were taken from Fangraphs.
Hitters
Tyler Freeman - Cleveland Indians - 0.197 ISO - One of my favorite hitters. The question is can he hit more home runs.
LoLo Sanchez - Pittsburgh Pirates - 12.20% K rate. He also has 16 extra base hits but is repeating a level so this is not a big surprise.
Pavin Smith - Arizona Diamondbacks - 13.50% walk rate. Smith already has 4 home runs on the year. Maybe he is tapping into his power finally. I also love the on base percentage (.333) despite the batting average.
Alec Bohm - Philadelphia Phillies - 21 extra base hits. He is finally getting it going.
Nick Allen - Oakland Athletics - 0.186 ISO. Nick has 14 doubles and 3 triples but I am not sure if that is sustainable but his auto sells for a bargain.
Pitchers
Casey Mize - Detroit Tigers - 0.89 BB/9 and 2.39 FIP. Casey is the real deal.
Brady Singer - Kansas City Royals - 8.86 K/9. Not a bad start and still an affordable buy.
Grayson Rodriguez - Baltimore Orioles - 13.65 K/9. His cards are heating up but you may still find bargains at the card shows.
Hitters I'm Worried About
Austin Beck - Oakland Athletics - 39.20% K rate. Not good.
Khalil Lee - Kansas City Royals - 0.115 ISO. I would like to see more power. The walk rate is good so I am not too worried.
Brandon Marsh - Los Angeles Angles - 29.90% K rate. The swing and miss issues have to improve.
Ronny Mauricio - New York Mets - 1 Home Run. He is only 18 but I wonder if he can develop power in the future. Still early.
