Some days are more extraordinary than others. Take yesterday. So many hitters have padded the statistics sheet by doing absurd offensive things. It was difficult to reduce this list to something reasonable without cutting fantastic performances. Two guys with six points produced? Another cycle? A couple two games at home? A threesome at home? This is the time when it's hard to pick the featured player, so many hitters have done so many good things. Hunter Renfroe stand out the most. It came 4-7.4 R, 3 HR, RBI. He demolished the ball all night with over 426 home runs on the 2nd, 9th and 12th innings. Of course, since they were at Coors, they were absolute solos. Go look at these circuits, especially the other two.
Renfroe has a ton of power. Last season he finished the year with a .256 ISO and 26 homers in 117 games. The previous year, he had hit 26 homers in 122 games. The current was there, we did not know if he would have the opportunity to show it again with the padres field full of Padres. He has emerged as an everyday player this season. This gave him ample opportunity and he took full advantage of it. Yesterday, these three home runs allowed him to reach a total of 21 over the year, just five out of his career high compared to the last two. This break came from more contacts and a little luck. Its rate of contact with the areas has increased by six percentage points to 84.5%, a significant figure for a bat like Renfroe. This did not stop the pitchers from attacking him with his weakness, but also breaking the ground. Last season he treated them well. But this year he had 35% of his shots (up five tics over last year) and he struggled a lot. As for his luck, he outperformed his expected statistics, especially in slugging. His SLG is .631 at his .480 xSLG. This could be attributed to its 14 percentage point increase in the HR / FB rate. With all this, he is in fashion in June, devouring any fastball that approaches him.
Let's look at the league looking for more extraordinary games.
J.D. Martinez (OF, Boston Red Sox)-3-4, 2 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB. Martinez is having a great season, but not a season like his last two. It's hard to support more than 0.60 each year. He still has a 144 wRC +! In addition, he has made important progress with radiation. Its K% is again down compared to the previous year and now stands at 17.2%. He can certainly return to last year's levels, and his expected slugging this year is 0.642. Launch of .600 again at your fingertips.
Michael Chavis (1B / 2B / 3B, Boston Red Sox)-2-5, 2 R, HR, 3 RBI, BB. The Red Sox rookie has been hot, but she has struggled in recent weeks. Until the last two games, where he has a circuit in each. During this 20-match period before these games at home, the match name was crossed out. He posted a rate of 44.9% K. It's hard to be on a base or to be productive if you can not hit the ball. No more swings and more swings and misses, especially on the grounds of the area that kept him in trouble. He is still a rookie of 23 years so there will be growing pains.
Colin Moran (3B, Pittsburgh Pirates)-3-5, R, HR, RBI. Moran has been on a staggering .667 run with six home runs in his last 16 games. And since the beginning of May, he is a solid producer. A former first-round pick who had been traded to Gerrit Cole, Moran has talent. If he continues to have this play time and to hit as he has done in recent weeks, he deserves a visit.
Roberto Perez (C, Cleveland Indians)-3-5, 3R, 2B, 2 RBI. Perez has recently made a point of becoming your next receiver in the receivers cycle that you have throughout the year. It has been particularly hot this week, but since the beginning of May it has a 147 wRC +, a BABIP of 0.236 and a ground ball rate of 50%. He could still produce more with numbers like that. However, its 42.9% HR / FB will certainly start to fall. Expect more hits, but fewer home runs.
Jake Bauers (1B / OF, Cleveland Indians)-4-5, 2R, HR, 2B, 3B, 4RBI. Nights back to back with a cycle. Another historic event too, because he became the first in Newport Beach, California, to do it (I do not know if this is even true). He crowned the evening with the home run. It did not do much to resurrect his difficult season. His main problem is to fight to do something against non-fastballs. His breach and reduced speed are his plague. In addition, he does not do enough fastball for the rest of his game is worth it. Let's hope this game can start the bat of this young batter.
Eloy Jimenez (OF, Chicago White Sox)-3-5, 3 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI. Eloy was another young hitter with a lot of struggles. His high expectations early in the season may have been excessive pressure. I accepted the suggestion to drop it on the morning of June 8th. Let's see what he's done since. In six games, he has scored five home runs, 11 RBIs, 313 wRC + and more goals than draws. I would like to think that I have helped revive this series of successes.
Robinson Chirinos (C, Houston Astros)-2-5, R, HR, RBI. Chirinos has been hot since the last time I wrote about it last week. He hit close to ten points and provided two more circuits. Another receiver who, if not recovered, will certainly help your team.
Yordan Alvarez (OF, Houston Astros)-3-4.3R, HR, 3 RBI, BB. For all the young call-ups that struggle, there is a lot that rakes. Alvarez could not help crushing the ball in the underage and this had a direct impact on the majors. In four games, he has three homers, seven points and seven RBIs. He's the guy to go after this week.
Manny Machado (3B / SS, San Diego Padres)-4-7, 4 R, HR, 2B, 2 RBI. It seems that Machado heard the screams of his fantasy owners when he had reached a higher level in the last two games. He went 7-12 with three homers, six points and five RBIs. He crush the left-handers this season but can not touch the right-handers. If he can return to his habit of hitting them both well, he will start to excel.
Ian Desmond (1B / OF, Colorado Rockies)-2-4, 2 R, HR, 4 RBI. Desmond made an extraordinarily impressive month. In his 93 AP's, his FPO is over 1,000. You read that right. He still hits the ball primarily on the ground, but he puts it into play. His contact rate with the zone is over 90% last month.
David Dahl (OF, Colorado Rockies)-2-6.2R, HR, 4RBI, BB. Like Desmond, Dahl set fire to the ball and hit .400 in the last 22 games. Going to the base 43% of the time allowed him to reach 22 points during this sequence while maintaining close to 1 BB / K. With Desmond, he did not do that with a lot of power, but they did both took advantage of the Padres throw yesterday.
Omar Narváez (C, Seattle Mariners)-3-4, 3 R, HR, 2 RBI. Narvaez has proven to be an ever-strong catch option this season. Still hitting close to .300 with some power, he was able to deliver enough numbers to be a starting catcher option in fantasy. His last month was not so good, he hit .243. He still hits line practice and balls in enough numbers to give an occasional home run.
