MLB Daily Notes - August 11th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
I’m still short on time and will have to get to a bunch of stuff tomorrow, but really quick…
This Zach Dezenzo guy was called up for the Astros, and he homered yesterday. His minor league line this year was .287/.374/.508 with six homers in 139 PAs. He must have been hurt or something because we didn’t see him until June. Adding in last year: .267/.351/.493, 26% K%, 10% BB%. The impressive thing in the profile is the 81% Contact% and 17% Brl% he posted in AAA (but that’s in just 52 PAs). He has five hits, a homer, and just three strikeouts in his four games so far while playing first base for the Astros.
Jackson Holliday since returning: .278/.350/.722, 5 HR, 27% Brl%, 25% K%, .292 xAVG, .456 xwOBA. It's a small sample (40 PAs), but he has the tenth-best xwOBA of the second half, and the strikeouts are much, much better than his first stint.
Matt Wallner has a freaking 40% K% and a 35% Brl% in 108 PAs. So that’s 46 balls in play and 43 strikeouts. That extent of a lack of ability to get the ball in play would get you sent to the minors normally, but luckily for Wallner, he is doing damage almost every time he’s getting a ball in play. He’s slugging .636, crazy stuff. But can it stay that high? N.
Gotta call it a day. but I’ll get caught up on allllll the relevant pitching performances from the weekend tomorrow on a podcast.
