Joey Gallo Is Having an Historically Weird Season

Related Topics: Batting average

Baseball has seen its share of low batting average, big-power guys before. But no one has ever done it the way the Texas Rangers outfielder/infielder Joey Gallo has done it so far this season. Gallo hit another blast on Wednesday night, his 35th, putting him on pace to easily clear the 40-homer barrier in his first full season in the Majors.

When Gallo hits them, they make some noise.

However, Gallo has one of the weirdest slash lines in baseball. In 394 plate appearances, he's batting .211/.327/.577, to go with those 35 dingers, 65 RBIs, and 66 runs scored.
