Breakdown Matt Carpenter

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among DH's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 13th.
  • The current leader among DH's is Shohei Ohtani
  • He hasn't missed that many games lately, but he is listed on the injury report. He may have some nagging injuries with his Oblique (Since Apr 2, 2024). Look at his player news.
  • Trending Batting Stats

  • Ranked 489th in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.229
  • Ranked 478th in batting average with 0.188
  • Top 100 on base percentage and is currently ranked 79th with 0.355
  • Not too impressive with slugging percentage currently ranked 468th with 0.292
  • Not too impressive with on base plus slugging currently ranked 350th with 0.647
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 585th in RBI with 4
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 577th in runs scored with 5
  • On second thought, he hasn't played in quite enough games for me to calculate a reliable analysis for you. Expect his rating to evolve over the next few days.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have remained fairly consistant and rose slightly by 0.9 PPG.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: AVG: +0.124, OBP: -0.022, HRs: -5, RBI: -31, Runs: -17, Wlks: -41, Stls: -1,
Breakdown Rio Ruiz

    Overview

  • I couldn't find any stats of this player even playing a game in the past 60 days. This is most likely due to an injury or time in the minors.
