With today’s 0-for-4, Willy Adames is now 2-for-his-last-25, with a triple and a trio of RBI. His .629 OPS for the season is among the bottom 30 for MLB regulars and the worst showing on the San Francisco Giants. It’s not what Buster Posey had in mind when he signed the shortstop to a franchise-record contract, but after a rough April — and despite this recent 2-for-25 — he has fallen back into the hitter he has been throughout his career.
Now, how can I say that given his terrible results? Statcast, baby. Those are the under the hood numbers that can either bring fans solace.
