It is difficult to judge a player’s talent when the 2020 season was just his second in the majors. However, 2020 brought the expected regression for Tommy Edman. His high BABIP (.346), low walk rate (4.6%), and unexpected power surge (.196 ISO) did not bode well for the 2020 season, and as it happened, his wRC+ dropped from 123 to 90. While the 2020 season was weird, it seems that it gave a better picture of his true talent. However, this does not mean that Tommy Edman is destined to be a career below average hitter. There were some signs of improvement amidst his decline last season, and he seems to also be figuring out the right approach at the plate.
