After two weeks off thanks to other news, the Reds versus The Strikezone series is back. This week we are going to look at another outfielder, newcomer Yasiel Puig. In the 2018 season he hit .267/.327/.494 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, good for a 120 OPS+. That 120 mark in OPS+ would rate him behind Eugenio Suarez, and just behind the group of Joey Votto (125), Jesse Winker (124), and Scooter Gennett (124).
Let’s take a look at how Yasiel Puig performed on pitches that would have been balls, or strikes, had he not swung at them.
