Washington Nationals Robert Hassell III Prepared For Second Big League Stint With Revamped Swing

Related Topics: Expos

Robert Hassell III’s first stint in the major leagues did not go great. In 21 games, he posted a 35 wRC+, 0.05 BB/K ratio, and -0.5 fWAR. He flashed some impressive traits like his excellent arm, great speed, and solid bat-to-ball skills, but showed several holes in his game, such as below-average range and a lack of plate discipline. He was sent down during the Nationals 11 11-game losing streak in June, but should make his return to the big league club after the trade deadline with several players soon to be off the roster.

How has Hassell looked since his demotion?
