Tommy Pham’s interesting power trend

It’s hard to find anything to complain about when it comes to how Tommy Pham has performed since coming over from the Cardinals last July.

He hasn’t quite been able to find the Trout-ian 191 wRC+ mark he put up as a Ray in 2018, but his 137 wRC+ in 2019 is still good for 11th among qualified hitters in the American League. This, despite having a higher average exit velocity and hard hit rate in 2019:

With as good as Pham has been, could he actually be underperforming?

Honestly, it’s hard to say, but I did notice something fun and interesting after Thursday night’s game in Cleveland.
