4/5 🧵 The article’s most interesting stat: under the hood, Grichuk has actually crushed the ball. Among hitters with at least 10 plate appearances, his 61.5% hard-hit rate ranked 12th and his 30.8% barrel rate ranked 3rd — even ahead of Aaron Judge’s barrel rate. So this isn’t a guy rolling over weak contact all day. The problem is the strikeouts: a 36.4% K rate is ugly, and hard-hit outs don’t save jobs.
