With such a power threat behind him, is Longoria hurting himself with these poor at-bats?
Rays just capped off a sweep of the Angels in Los Angeles, a place where Evan Longoria typically thrives.
Heading into the series, he ranked second among all active major leaguers in OPS at Angels Stadium; however, during the first two games, he worked just some incredibly sloppy at-bats, including an embarrassing effort with the bases loaded on Friday.
Speaking of Longoria hitting with men on base, there may be an underlying approach causing him to do more poorly whenever a runner is on -- which, thanks Logan Forsythe's incredible start, there usually is -- as Longoria has a 124 wRC+ with the bases empty compared to 58 wRC+ with runners on.
