Nico Hoerner: A New Hope

[The_Achiever]

When I say his last name, I say it as Horner. Like Bob Horner. I bet that's not the way it is actually said, therefore I'm not saying in out loud yet. Let me know.

That's how Len said it and he's usually on the ball there. I think you're safe.

I know a few people with that spelling of their last names and they pronounce it HERner.

 

Ermaghad! Nica Herner!

That sounds like every New Orleans suburbanite.

It’s sad that Russell isn’t even close to the worst on the 40.

Allow me to overreact to a couple of windy Wrigley dongs, but since Hoerner hasn't gotten to play in a juiced ball league until now, I wonder if there are more homers in there than everyone thought. He seems to have a quick bat. A 2018* Gleyber-ian homer spike would be swell.

 

*holy horsefeathers, he has 37 this year.

Wind was blowing out both days, right?

Both his Dongs so far are Dongs in Wrigley unless there’s extreme wind conditions coming in and Dongs in pretty much every park in MLB. Statcast had one HR at 96MPH and one at 100+, 388 (left field well) and 411 feet (LCF).

 

He definitely seems to have 20HR+ potential, since they tweaked his swing and he’s over the wrist/hand injury especially in the juiced ball environment.

Definitely needs to get stronger. So far he has an 85 EV and just a 4 LA. Kinda Almora-ish.

Isn't this kind of an odd video? First it makes it look like his 1st hit was a HR - then it spends more time showing the reaction of his teammates rather than showing what he actualy did on the field?
