I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread

to be fair, zobrist has always looked janky and old

I'm not worried about Zobrist much at all. As long he's healthy, I think he'll come around.

Zobrist injured his wrist on a swing on May 26.

 

Zobrist in 158 PA through May 25: .266/.354/.468

Zobrist in 81 PA since then: .113/.213/.169

 

Zobrist average exit velocity through May 25: 87.3 mph

Zobrist average exit velocity since then: 84.5 mph

 

It's definitely the wrist injury. His plate discipline numbers are the same as they've always been. He's actually graded out very well defensively at second. I don't think it's a case of aging or being worn out. I don't see many signs of him getting old... other than him hitting like a weakling since the wrist injury.

 

Now, I could see the wrist bothering him all year. And that would suuuck. If so, he's going to continue to struggle. And we really need that to not happen.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Though, I suppose it could be that he is starting to break down. And him getting injured is the sign of him aging. And he'll keep getting injured and never be healthy again.

 

But, I think if the wrist feels good, he can be his normal self. Hopefully that happens sometime this year.

Good stuff. I honestly forgot he was hitting that well at any point. He should not have been trying to play through it, that's for sure.

Yeah, that was incredibly stupid.

[Flames24Rulz]

he hits the ball hard foul sometimes

 

and he's gotta be the unluckiest player in baseball, or something.

With the money he is making, he should have 38 homers, not 8. Overpaid, table of one.....

I can't even clown on the rando meatballer who wanders into this thread to attack Heyward because....why bother? He's right, for the wrong reasons, he's right to be disappointed.

heyward makes hard contact about once a week, his at bats are just freaking pitiful

 

edit: lol instant linedrive single after two pathetic pop fouls. ill take it

If you go by fangraphs, Heyward has been less valuable this year than last (due to his dWAR taking a nose dive.)

Imagine how much he'll such when the balls aren't juiced. He won't hit anything past the mound.

Well good it will save him from hitting into as many double plays
