Bench Bats

Running the new weighted numbers for the last two years:




Whit Merrifield (2B, RF, LF*) come is as the best bat albeit vL.  However, his vR split is also the best available bat on the market.  Will need to make a Whit Merrifield post.

Pros: RHB, Low K%, High SB, 2B
Cons: 28, low Power

In this instance, it would seem like he is challenging for Santana's spot.

Aaron Altherr (LF, CF, RF) comes in as the second best bench option.  Again leading with his vL advantabe he is only bested by Merrifield and David Peralta vR.

Pros: RHB, High HR, 26
Cons: Low Sample

Running the new weighted numbers for the last 30 Days:


Whit Merrifield comes in again as the best bench bat. Again, it calls into question Santana's spot.

Steven Souza Jr. is showing ahead of Santana as well.

The injury of Aaron Altherr makes him a non starter at this point but certainly someone to keep an eye on.
