I’m not saying he had a good season for his standards, but a 114 wRC+ is 14% better than average by definition. Wallner is strong enough that he doesn’t need to pull the ball to get it over the fence. Agreed with the OP he’s doing the right things. Optimistic the results follow the process. -
Very funny Matt

The first signal looked like it was during his follow through, but looked like he could have been adjusting his hat

Why in the world does a guy with 700 PAs of .630 OPS keep getting brought up as a viable starting 3B?

correction - there was one RBI

correct - also terrible

He has more plate appearances in 2025 at an 85 wRC+ than he did during his amazing burst out of the gate at 150 wRC+. In the second half of 2025 he had a 97 wRC+ .723 OPS. His projections for 2026 are right in line .745 OPS 105 wRC+ and his career is .762 OPS 110wRC+. That’s average to slightly below 3B average. is it really kicking him when he’s down? Or is it adjusting expectations?

Wallner a winner from camp? In 2023 and 2024 his wRC+ ranked 12 and 13 of all hitters w/ 250 plate appearances. two seasons of hitting 40-50% better than average. 2025 was a down year, 2026 may not be in the 150 wRC+ range, but it should not surprise to see him well above average again. He’s a darn good hitter.

Yup, when Eric Wagaman is the next man up at 3B, it’s Lewis or bust.

Yup, 3 times 2000 (20), 2001 (14) and 2003 (14) edit to add number of triples and to say…. I’d kill for an early aughts young Cristian Guzman type playing SS for this team… :(- 289 replies
