Rougned Odor is a flawed major league hitter. He is slashing .216/.297/.404 this season with a 92 wRC+ in 321 plate appearances, and he hasn’t been an ‘average’ batter (at least a 100 wRC+) since 2016, when he finished with a 103 mark. He had a somewhat extended chance to prove whether he could be an above-average hitter this season, under new coaches and different voices, but even in the Yankees’ latest surge, that’s who he has been: he has a 94 wRC+ in 149 plate appearances since July 6th.
However, that doesn’t mean he is useless for the Yankees.
