Something he really needs to improve on in his throwing home. He lollipops it all the way with little accuracy. Rather he miss low to allow for the ball to be cutoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 After you see how he nearly died on the ground rule double in the corner you can kind of see why it seems like Eloy isn't comfortable going all out for fly balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual catch probability could be more or less than what is implied by .230 expected BA. The expected BA doesn't factor in where fielders are positioned or the left/right direction of the batted ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not defending him at all, he's a butcher, but I just don't think many get to that ball in comerica, it's a huge OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 At this early stage of his career, Eloy is not a Major League outfielder. I'm not saying that he won't become one, but he looks destined for first base, or DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best evidence against Eloy is that he got fairly close to it and people are assuming other guys would have been there a few steps sooner. Of course that requires us to be correct that he had a bad route and/or slow speed getting there which is hard to know from watching it on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
