So HOT, they call him JALA-Piña
**all stats are from prior to last nights game**
Yuli Gurriel, la Piña himself, is having himself a hell of a season. He’s now hitting .299/.333/.524- good for a 126 wRC+ and 2.2 WAR so far this season.
But Yuli didn’t start the season on nearly the same pace, here was the breakout by months:
April/May: 104 AB - .240/.292/.375
May: 103 AB - .291/.311/.447
June: 100 AB - .270/.306/.450
Resulting in a .267/.303/.423 triple slash at the end of June, with many fans calling for his replacement via trade. Then July happened
In July, Yuli has been hitting an absurd .404/.434/.851 for a 238 wRC+!!! Here’s an excellent compilation of his July by Highlight Fanatics (@HighlightFanat) :
