Breakdown Heston Kjerstad

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 6th among OF's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 237th.
  • 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.
  • Trending Batting Stats

  • Ranked 352nd in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.273
  • Ranked 394th in batting average with 0.216
  • Not overly impressive with on base percentage currently ranked 422nd with 0.275
  • Not too impressive with slugging percentage currently ranked 224th with 0.405
  • Not too impressive with on base plus slugging currently ranked 295th with 0.680
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 607th in RBI with 4
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 638th in runs scored with 3
  • 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 1.1 PPG.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: AVG: -0.09, OBP: -0.031, HRs: -2, RBI: -4, Runs: -3, Wlks: -2, Stls: EVEN,
  • The season is still young, expect things to change quite a bit.
