September 17, 201610 yr Delved into stats for this and my position has changed from a few days ago. Yours probably will too http://marlinsminors.mlblogs.com/2016/09/16/what-should-the-marlins-do-about-adeiny-hechavarria//
September 17, 201610 yr havent read yet but im guessing you're going by his ld% & hard hit % and saying he's been unlucky...most of that was the first half...he's been absolute horrendous all around 2nd half
September 17, 201610 yr Author havent read yet but im guessing you're going by his ld% & hard hit % and saying he's been unlucky...most of that was the first half...he's been absolute horrendous all around 2nd half Way to hit the fucking nail on the head. There's no way you didn't read it yet Even if his 2nd half was shit though he was still unlucky 1st half.
September 17, 201610 yr Way to hit the fucking nail on the head. There's no way you didn't read it yet Even if his 2nd half was shit though he was still unlucky 1st half. lol i swear...i actually noticed it about 300ab in and defended him a bit back then...but then he fell off a cliff and when he's been so bad for so long i'd have to say it's something else besides luck. i promise to read tho
September 17, 201610 yr Author lol i swear...i actually noticed it about 300ab in and defended him a bit back then...but then he fell off a cliff and when he's been so bad for so long i'd have to say it's something else besides luck I dunno. You don't post that LD% and hard hit rate while hitting .237. Even if his second half has sucked, he shouldn't be hitting that low.
September 17, 201610 yr I dunno. You don't post that LD% and hard hit rate while hitting .237. Even if his second half has sucked, he shouldn't be hitting that low. could be a scorer thing too...maybe the marlins scorer is friendly too hech. his exit velo/avg fly ball is pretty shitty
September 17, 201610 yr Author could be a scorer thing too...maybe the marlins scorer is friendly too hech. his exit velo/avg fly ball is pretty shitty He's not a power hitter and never will be which I also point out. But he's a singles 2Bs hitting SS whose made his best contact this yr. He shouldn't be given up on just yet.
September 17, 201610 yr Eh, his batted ball numbers have been pretty consistent since 2013 when he was also a worthless POS.
September 17, 201610 yr Author Eh, his batted ball numbers have been pretty consistent since 2013 when he was also a worthless POS. Again. He's having his best season batted ball wise this year by far
September 17, 201610 yr Again. He's having his best season batted ball wise this year by far Not by a significant degree.
September 17, 201610 yr Author Not by a significant degree. But he is. And because he is, he shouldn't be hitting .230 when he hit .280 last year. I highly doubt Hech will ever be a .300 bat. But he doesn't have to be
September 17, 201610 yr But he is. And because he is, he shouldn't be hitting .230 when he hit .280 last year. I highly doubt Hech will ever be a .300 bat. But he doesn't have to be Honestly his batted ball numbers are pretty much the same as 2013. Not sure what you are seeing. Wouldn't place too much stock in med vs hard hit classifications either.
September 17, 201610 yr Author Honestly his batted ball numbers are pretty much the same as 2013. Not sure what you are seeing. Wouldn't place too much stock in med vs hard hit classifications either. His LD% and hard hit % are much higher than 2013. He's also walking much more and swinging at balls a lot less
September 17, 201610 yr His LD% and hard hit % are much higher than 2013. He's also walking much more and swinging at balls a lot less that's what i saw...with that said, his exit velos are similar to other years...it seriously may just be a scoring thing
September 17, 201610 yr His LD% and hard hit % are much higher than 2013. He's also walking much more and swinging at balls a lot less 1.7 difference in LD. That's nothing. And what Polly said about exit velocity. Yeah are reading far too much into small fluctuations in the numbers.
September 17, 201610 yr Author that's what i saw...with that said, his exit velos are similar to other years...it seriously may just be a scoring thing I dunno. The metrics are usually very reliable or else FG would not use them. I'm not saying hech is gonna be a .300 hitter yearly. But he could very well be the .280 hitter he was last year. And with his defense thats enough
September 17, 201610 yr Author I think he's more like a .230-.260 hitter overall. He definitely isn't a .230 or even a .240 hitter.
September 17, 201610 yr He definitely isn't a .230 or even a .240 hitter. i mean he's a career 255 hitter which is prob pretty accurate. who cares about avg though besides hill
September 17, 201610 yr Author i mean he's a career 255 hitter which is prob pretty accurate. who cares about avg though besides hill I honestly think with improved patience he's at least a .270 bat
September 17, 201610 yr Author I mean he's hitting line drives at the same rate as Correa and as hard as Tulo (who is also having a terrible BABIP year). while he won't ever have their power, it's reasonable to assume this is a fluke season for him and he's more the type of guy we saw last year
September 17, 201610 yr I honestly think with improved patience he's at least a .270 bat No way. Not consistently.
September 18, 201610 yr Author No way. Not consistently. Its just an opinion. I obviously can't prove that he will be. But his batted ball stats say he definitely could be. I mean he hit .280 last year while striking out a lot more and making weaker contact.
