Jurickson Profar's metrics look ugly, but one stat indicates his success is sustainable

While Jurickson Profar started off his Atlanta Braves tenure in the worst possible way, the switch-hitting left fielder has spent August doing everything he can to try and win back over fans.

Going into Thursday's game against the Phillies, Profar had the highest wRC+ among any qualified hitter in baseball. His .309/.454/.660 slash line this month has helped supercharge the Braves offense, which has scored the fourth-most runs in baseball.

Although most of Profar's advanced metrics don't look pretty and suggest that he's likely getting rather lucky, there is one key indication that this heater the 32-year-old is on might just be sustainable.
