I think Holliday can be the 2nd best regular next year.   

Adley probably should still be. 

Cowser, and Westburg could be.

Mainly I'm just saying I think Holliday breaks out offensively.
If he's league average at 2nd, and breaks out offensively as I expect, he'll be in the running for 2nd best.

He could be in the running for our 3rd straight rookie of the year.

[BaltBird 24]

He'll have too much service time to be a rookie next season.

Mayo will be yeah.

89th percentile for chase rate but 2nd percentile for walk rate, he's had a good eye so far but it seems like people are just willing to challenge him in the zone, 55.2% of pitches inside the zone vs 49.9% for the league average

[BobPhelan]

Also walk rate doesn't stabilize until 130 plate appearances, Jackson has 48 so far.

Ive seen the umps take the bat out of this kids hands a lot. He knows the strikezone. Umps are giving pitchers strikes and Holliday has no choice after that. Yes, hes being challenged in the zone too but the calls that go against him is BS

[TwentyThirtyFive]

 

 

If you want to watch the full breakdown by all means but just pay attention to the first pitch called on Jackson and what that means for the next two pitches. Its complete BS.

 

 

BTW for the umps not to signal an out there and Hyde to not lose his shit is horrible. The umps completely F'd that all up. Hyde was completely lost too. Hes a bum who hurts his team in every way. This team is not playing well but they could legit be a game or two better in the standings without all the ump BS

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Also has to get the ball in the air. His launch angle is 5 degrees

[NewMarketSean]

Looking like a bust.
