Who's Hot
Kyle Schwarber, Washington
Since moving to lead-off on June 8th, he finished June with 16 home runs in the 22 games from this point forward with 28 RBI and a robust .304/.389/.901 slash line. He produced 56 batted ball events with 19 barrels (33.9 percent) and 30 hard hits (53.6 percent) of them fueling a .593 isolated power.
Cedric Mullins, Baltimore
Finished June with a .380/.452/.720 slash line scoring 20 runs, launching eight home runs, driving in 16 and stealing seven bases over 115 plate appearances. Showing no signs of slowing down, Mullins racked up a 214 weighted runs created plus (wRC+) metric with a .489 weighted on-base average (wOBA). What an absolute steal in drafts this preseason.
Shohei Ohtani
Perhaps his power went overshadowed by Schwarber, but Ohtani actually accrued a higher barrel rate in June (35.2 percent) of his 54 batted ball events with an eye popping 68.5 percent hard hit rate. In 25 games as a hitter, he generated 13 home runs with 23 RBI and stole four bases with a .309/.429/.889 slash line in 97 plate appearances. This resulted in a .522 wOBA for the month and a 237 wRC+, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Who's Not
Javier Baez, Chicago Cubs
Perhaps playing through injury, Baez limped to the end of June with a .157/.231/.373 slash scoring eight runs with five home runs, 13 RBI and a steal in 24 games over 91 plate appearances. His strikeout percentage spiked to 40.7 in June while his isolated power cratered to .217 with a .195 batting average on balls in play (BABIP).
Rhys Hoskins, Philadelphia
Still on the not-hot list, Hoskins finished June with six home runs and 13 RBI but with an accompanying .135/.217/.365 slash. This depressed his wRC+ for the month to 57 and his isolated power fell to .229 through 106 plate appearances. Better days should lie ahead but he may need to be benched in most formats until he shows signs of recovery.
Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox
His team resides in first place despite his lack of production for June. Abreu hit .182/.265/.307 for the month accruing 98 plate appearances with 10 runs, two home runs and eight RBI in them. He also may be playing through pain and could benefit from some time off but with the roster in flux, this may happen until the All-Star break.
Migration to the Mean
Kyle Tucker, Houston
He lost time in June due to COVID, with health and positive regression, perhaps kicking the tires in your league with the team who rosters him could yield a buy low situation:
- .264 batting average versus a .323 expected batting average (xBA) - plus 59 points
- .476 slugging percentage versus a .595 expected slugging (xSLG) - plus 119 points
- .338 wOBA versus a .409 expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) - plus 71 points
Alex Kiriloff, Minnesota
Part of the resurgent Twins offense, there's another level to this rookie's production. His current quality of contact predicts much better results soon, especially in his power:
- .265 batting average versus a .316 xBA - plus 51 points
- .446 slugging percentage versus a .599 xSLG - plus 153 points
- .318 wOBA versus a .396 xwOBA - plus 78 points
Christian Walker, Arizona
It's been a lost season to this point for Walker, but I think a strong second half lies in the offing. If he starts producing prior to the All-Star break, especially with a couple of home runs, this may be the time to stash him for a second half rebound:
- .225 batting average versus a .262 xBA - plus 37 points
- .349 slugging percentage versus a .390 xSLG - plus 41 points
- .271 wOBA versus a .304 xwOBA - plus 33 points
