Few notes: I'm like 71% sure Masseys back problems are worse than their telling us and it may just be cooked which is why he can't hit anymore. Thank got we didn't get scammed by conforto and santander

  1. I have seen a lot of posts today on various sites and social media platforms about Massey. I think he’s got a lot of people’s attention and has them concerned.

  2. Damn, you think for the historically bad start the Rockies are having they have more players on this list

  3. I mean, yeah maybe he’s hurt, but he’s also changed his approach at the plate. I think we’ve all talked about how the team seems to have adopted this “elevated LA” philosophy, and it has been a colossal failure so far. That’s especially true for Massey.

    Using last season as a control since it was his best year in a very short career in the bigs, the primary difference is his power profile (ISO .190 in 2024 vs .061 in 2025), and the thing I’m seeing that he’s doing this year as opposed to last year is he increased his LA from 16.8 last year to almost fucking 24 this year. His average exit velocity hasn’t changed much from last year (89.2 in 2024 vs 87.2 in 2025), so he’s popping out over and over and over again, where last year he was finding gaps. Out of everything in terms of Massey’s stats, the one glaring difference is his average LA and it shows.

    I have no idea if this is something Zumwalt has preached since the end of last year (or maybe even during the season last year), but either way increased LA with no power improvement seems to be the one metric we’re seeing across the board. At the end of the day, the Royals are trying to hit more home runs and it’s not working.

  4. Wtf is up with Julio Rodriguez?  Guy beat out BW2 for rookie of the year.

  5. Back problems are a big red flag for hitters. Every time you take a swing, you’re putting a ton of torque on your back and risking injury. And back injuries never really fully heal, you just kind of learn how to manage it.

  6. Massey’s name is next on the send down list. We see moves being made with Renfroe and now Biggio.

  7. Today I learned that the Mariners only have 4 qualified hitters on their roster
