SoCalChiSox Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 It's true that his BABIP is abnormally low at .213 but he's also not walking anywhere near as much as he used to and he's striking out more, and there's still no power, so part of it is on bad luck but alot of it is on him too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Way to own up to your suckiness… https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2917449/amp"My batted ball profile is almost better than last year," Benintendi said. "You look at the numbers, I'm the one of unluckiest hitters in the league right now. The expected batting average and expected slug are significantly higher than what the numbers are showing right now." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopek Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Hey, it's nice to hear that a Sox player looks at their batted ball data. I'll take any small wins I can get with this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) partially correct, but players have more control over BABIP than is commonly thought. It's not just dumb luck, he's putting balls into play that are easy to field. Weak groundballs and pop-ups are "balls in play" but it's not bad luck when they turn into an out, it's bad hitting. His peripheral stats are better than last year and he shouldn't be quite this bad, so that's true. He also should've kept his overpaid mouth shut, bad luck isn't preventing him from making diving attempts on balls in the outfield.

Texsox Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 For the sake of the discussion let's say you are the unluckiest player this year. Earlier you were the luckiest player in the league with the contract you signed. I believe statistically you've regressed to the mean. But maybe, some crazy GM will read that, think your luck is about the change, and we can part as friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
