And 9th in NL OPS at .674, a full 88 points behind the Brewers despite the paltry 0.4 mph difference in avg exit velo.
Ugh.
Cool visualization! Anecdotally, a lot of our guys seem to pound the ball into the ground or fly out harmlessly at high EVs. There have definitely been games where our xBA is higher than opponents, but I think there are some issues beyond bad luck with the way the team is hitting (and I’m excluding the numerous empty at bats with pitiful strikeouts when I say this).
