.462/.588/.692 in 5 road games since Brett’s tweet

He's not the only one on that team with suspicious splits.

H - 14 games: .345/.400/.586

Yeah, it's been like 10 games each home and away, plus Miller has been hitter friendly to all teams so far and there's no team-wide benefit the home offense seems to be getting. It's weird and noteworthy but not at all scandalous at this stage.

His K and BB rate seem to be the kicker in all this. Park factors are unlikely to make that huge of a difference on those stats.

It's like 60 PA on either side of a split where you expect there to be deviation, even with BB/K. Maybe he really loves the batters eye, or he faced a handful of pitchers at home who had no idea what they were doing early in the season. It'd be more meaningful if that were the case in August, but until then it's trivia.

Nah, he's a Brewer. Bastard is cheating. 8-)

[Derwood]

Read are in last place with a +7 run diff.

 

The Brewers are 2 games over .500 with a -12

Brewer fans think he’s going to be a superstar, I don’t see more than a Starlin/Lemaheiu type player.

I'm pulling for him just because of the tragic mustache/acne combo.

if his spray chart looks at all like his face it looks like he'll have a lot of power to the opposite field.

 

But if that's his heat map I like the matchup with Yu Darvish.

To be fair, I thought the same thing about Gleyber Torres then he showed up and hit the same amount of home runs in 123 major league games that it took him to hit in 373 minor league games. Baseball is unpredictable.

 

But Milwaukee's history of top middle infield prospects has been... not good for them. Huira has a different offensive profile than those players though. Escobar and Arcia were glove first whose bats never truly came around. Huira's bat looks ready to go. Don't know much about his defensive profile

He plays his home games in AAA Coors field and the AAA ball is juiced this year so I’d take a grain of salt with any numbers this year, I think he absolutely has a solid hit tool and will hit for a decent average but I don’t think he’s going to hit for a ton of power or walk a ton. He’s also running a ~30% K rate in AAA so far this year. I think he rates out quite poorly defensively at 2B, but with their shift BS they should be able to hide it.

 

Also speaking of the great Gleyber..... despite the HR power we didn’t see he was only a ~1 win player last year and he’s hitting .286/.323/.456, 104 wRC+ with a 5%BB rate and 20% K rate this year.

Just a heads up. I think the AAA team is now in San Antonio rather than Colorado Springs.

[OleMissCub]

So is there a large enough sample size in the season to call these numbers suspicious?

 

Yelich’s splits:

 

Home: 17HR, .395 AVG, 1.092 SLG

Away: 5 HR, .250 AVG, .464 SLG

 

I looked into the splits for most of their starters and almost all actually have more homers and higher slugging on the road this season.

What's the theory? He alone is getting stolen signs?

No idea. Maybe? It’s strange, regardless.

Brewers sent Hiura back to Triple A. All he's done is hit .281 .333 .531 .865.

I mean, no. That is 100%, most definitely not the case.

Ok, so he’s not being fed signs. What gives? Sure, Miller is a hitters park, but go look at the splits on the Blake Street Bombers during the Coors Field heyday. Their slugging % was at most like 250 points higher at Coors, not freaking double.

Up to 19HR at home with an 1.606OPS vs on the road with 5HR and an .844OPS. Six percent higher BB% and six percent lower K% at home as well. Has any player ever had such a ridiculous Home/Away split?

Pretty sure the Cubs signed him recently.

Cargo’s OPS at home was .240 points than on the road, which is ridiculous. However, that just reinforces how insanely ludicrous an OPS that is 600 points higher at home is.
