Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Oscar needs to buy a Mega millions ticket because his luck is just through the roof. Eventually these pitxhers will wise up and start throwing them underhanded so he can't just feast on pitches within a foot of the plate.

I think he can hit em even if they roll them over the plate..

You obviously don't comprehend.

Let me make this simpler.

If a player can sustain a BABIP around .350, he is in company that is made up almost exclusively of HOFers.

I can comprehend just fine..

WHO HAS SUGGESTED OSCAR IS ON A HoF TRAJECTORY?????

NO ONE.

Except you...

If you want to have an "argument" about BABIP sustainability - have at it..

You reframe shit to create a false narrative..

BS...and then I'm done.

Anybody who suggests that his BABIP is sustainable IS also suggesting that he is HOF material...because THEY ARE INTERELATED.

So what your saying is his current BABIP could and likely will drop and he’d still have lots of room to just be a very good player? The horror!


People arguing that Oscar is legit/real deal are not say as fact that they believe his BABiP will remain identical to its current rate and yet you seem to be building this weird argument that they are, as if there are only two finite possibilities separated by a void.

Any poster that argued with him two months ago that Oscar was good and would continue to be good.

He has converted that to an imaginary scenario where multiple people throw bricks at his window with a note in all caps saying “OG WILL MAINTAIN HIS CURRENT BABIP FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER”

But he simply cannot maintain a .347 BABIP. Thats Trout territory, and much higher than Manny Ramirez and even Ted Williams. So there is certainly gonna be regression there...probably significant regression.

Maybe not so much. He hits the ball hard and sprays it around which is the key to a high BABIP. He also gets infield hits - not many, but he beats out those ground balls in the hole and high choppers because he gets down the line so fast with that 90th percentile sprint speed.

If he learns to stop chasing so many pitches out of the zone he'll get in better counts and get more pitches he can square up. In that case his BABIP might actually go up.

As of now his hard hit percentage of 41.9% is best on the team. His average exit velocity is also best on the team, just a tick ahead of Naylor. It's not like he's getting a lot of lucky bloops that are dropping in. He's hitting the ball consistently hard and using the whole field.

His average launch angle of 5.9 degrees is the second lowest on the team; only Rosario is more of a ground ball/line drive hitter. The only other player who is not at least in double figures is Straw at 9.3 degrees.

Once Oscar starts laying off some of those bad pitches and getting more balls in the air it's gonna be showtime.

Here ya go...

A poster who said that Oscar's BABIP could actually go UP.
 
Quantrill walks off the field, thinking...
