No player is under the microscope more with Atlanta Braves fans than Jurickson Profar. The relationship got off to an ultra rocky start with Profar being served an 80 game suspension from Major League Baseball. His status in Braves Country quickly took a hit as fans were subjected to months of poor left field play from Alex Verdugo, Jared Kelenic, and Eli White in addition to the suspension itself.

Upon Profar's return he belted two home runs in his first couple games back. However, the performance since then has been average at best. After taking a look at the underlying numbers Profar is showcasing some early red flags, and fans need to hold out hope he can turn things around or else his three-year $42 million contract will begin to look very bad in a hurry.
