Breakdown Billy McKinney

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among LF's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 262nd.
  • The current leader among LF's is Juan Soto
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
  • Trending Batting Stats

  • Ranked 373rd in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.270
  • Ranked 485th in batting average with 0.188
  • Not overly impressive with on base percentage currently ranked 108th with 0.346
  • Not too impressive with slugging percentage currently ranked 498th with 0.281
  • Not too impressive with on base plus slugging currently ranked 388th with 0.627
  • Not very impressive in steals and is currently ranked 775th with 1
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 578th in RBI with 6
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 510th in runs scored with 12
  • 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 0.3 PPG.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: AVG: -0.219, OBP: -0.313, HRs: -6, RBI: -13, Runs: -19, Wlks: -17, Stls: -1,
