Breakdown Alek Thomas

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among CF's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 140th.
  • The current leader among CF's is Juan Soto
  • He hasn't missed that many games lately, but he is listed on the injury report. He may have some nagging injuries with his Hamstring (Since Mar 31, 2024). Look at his player news.

  • Ranked 413th in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.256
  • Ranked 316th in batting average with 0.231
