Ryan O’Hearn made a joke of big league pitching during his rookie campaign in 2018. The lefty posted a 153 wRC+ in 170 PA over 44 games, crushing 12 HR and giving Royals fans something to look forward to moving into 2019.
O’Hearn hasn’t quite lived up to those standards in 2019. The lefties slash line currently sits at a measly .161/.282/.322/.603 and he’s currently in the middle of his longest homer-less streak of his career at nine games. On the surface, that may sound bad. But if you dig a little deeper (and I mean just a little, this doesn’t take much), O’Hearn really hasn’t been that bad at all.
