Breakdown Nelson Cruz

    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.
Breakdown Josh Lowe

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 27th among OF's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 180th.
  • The current leader among OF's is Juan Soto
  • Can't be doing much worse than he is right now. Failing to live up to expectations is one thing, but playing this bad is another.
  • 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 Mar 25, 2024). Look at his player news.
  • Trending Batting Stats

  • Top 50 in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.362 and is currently ranked 41st
  • Top 50 in batting average with 0.299 and is currently ranked 37th
  • Not overly impressive with on base percentage currently ranked 112th with 0.346
  • Top 75 in slugging percentage and is currently ranked 75th with 0.491
  • Top 75 in on base plus slugging and is currently ranked 65th with 0.837
  • Not very impressive in steals and is currently ranked 110th with 13
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 257th in RBI with 35
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 255th in runs scored with 36
  • 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 increased by 2.8 PPG.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: AVG: -0.291, OBP: -0.336, HRs: -20, RBI: -83, Runs: -72, Wlks: -32, Stls: -32,
  • The season is still young, expect things to change quite a bit.
