CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Peacock has a nasty slider he throws more now. Keep an eye on how he switches which side of the rubber he stands on when approaching lefties and righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Poor defense by Moncada and Houston leads 1-0. Lead off walk didn't help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead off walk didn't help I wouldn't call it poor defense he did range far to his right . Probably fundamentally unsound not getting down on the ball to at least knock it down.

I can't wait to see him grow and develop and then just terrorize the league and division in his prime. I'm thinking the Tigers, Twinkies and Royals are really going to get sick of him over the next 3-5 years. Indians might win enough not to let it bother them.

Pretty impressive considering where they both were just a couple weeks ago. That's wild. I'm kinda surprised his wRC+ is so high. Elevated because of baserunning then?

Elevated because of baserunning then? It's elevated because he has an absurd isoD of .109 (walk rate is 12.8%) and a very good (for a 22 year old 2B) iso of .198. For perspective, Avi has an iso of .171 this year. Kid hits the ball hard and he takes his walks. He's going to be a star. He has already surpassed my expectations for his rookie year. I was hoping he'd hold his own, maybe slash like 250/300/400, and then we'd hope for a league average or better bat next year while playing a solid 2B and finish around 3 WAR. Well, it looks like he might be ready to put up 5 WAR next year. That would be pretty f***ing amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elevated because of baserunning then? That's part of it, yeah, but wRC+ also takes into account GIDPs. Devers has 5 and Moncada has 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elevated because of baserunning then? http://www.fangraphs.com/library/offense/wrc/ I don't think baserunning factors in, it's more his OBP that's driving it. And his BsR is currently only rated 0.1 anyway (though that seems low). EDIT: nevermind it does factor in.

And his BsR is currently only rated 0.1 anyway (though that seems low). EDIT: nevermind it does factor in. Yeah it modifies a formula from a baserunning metric but I didn't know how it's weighted. All good stuff. Even if he ends up being a streaky hitter as he has been this year, he walks even in down times and gets on base. He's going to touch home a lot for us.
