OK he struck out twice today, but the good news is that Matt Chapman has been making a lot more contact lately and hitting a lot of homeruns — whereas much of the season he has been striking out a ton and hitting a lot of homeruns.
A polished 3Bman with legitimate power and a good eye, Chapman is an excellent prospect...unless insufficient contact fells him as has been the fate for so many a highly-regarded prospect. Chapman’s K-rate has been over 30% most of the season, now down to 28.5% after a run of 100 PAs with just 15 Ks.
