Derek Van RiperHOST
He's in peak right now, right? It's the question of how long can that peak last.
Derek Van RiperHOST
Uh, what's also interesting though is for a guy that hits the ball hard, this is gonna be the second year in a row where he's gonna have a double digit barrel rate, and a guy that runs really well, he doesn't put up the average OBP part of the slash line that you would expect.
Derek Van RiperHOST
Like i- in, in my head, every time I see highlights of Corbin Carroll, he's stealing a base, hitting a home run, or ripping a triple into the gap, right? And then I look at the batting average and I'm like, wait, he's, he's only hitting, you know, 240 this year.
Derek Van RiperHOST
He hit 259 last year.

Eno SarrisHOST
... assistant hitting coach with the Angels.
Eno SarrisHOST
Um, there's some weird stuff, though.
Eno SarrisHOST
I mean, you, you, you pointed out on the rundown that they're, they're 29th in OBP, they're 28th in, in, uh, in...
Eno SarrisHOST
They're at the bottom of the league when it comes to OBP, home runs, runs.
Geoff PontesHOST
Um, but yeah.
Geoff PontesHOST
And I think probably early, the biggest boost is probably in, like, OBP and points formats, 'cause he walks a lot.
Geoff PontesHOST
He will run a little bit.
Geoff PontesHOST
There's some power, but you know, switch hitter and, you know, it's not sort of consistent angles on each side.
22 MINS LATER
Geoff PontesHOST
I think in a points league you could, you could maybe sell me on Franklin Arias just because they deduct for, for strikeouts and boost for walks a little bit.
Geoff PontesHOST
So I think you get some trade-off there.
Geoff PontesHOST
You know, even if I'm taking the batting average or the OBP hit with, with Montgomery, I th- I think, like, the fact that he could hit 35 to 40 home runs in a season is, you know, tough to...
Geoff PontesHOST
A- and you know, in the infield, it's kind of tough.
Arden ZwellingHOST
So t- it weights things appropriately, and it really gives you just a, a good look at how you're performing offensively.
Arden ZwellingHOST
It's scaled to, like, OBP, so you can read it like you would OBP.
Arden ZwellingHOST
And if you just look at the rolling graph of Okamoto's LOBA, it's just like it, it starts down, and then it goes right up, and it goes down, and it goes right up, it goes down, it goes right up.
Arden ZwellingHOST
And it's like the electrocardiogram.
Aram LeightonHOST
He had the 111 WRC+, but he's been one of the better just, just contact guys, batting average guys in the league.
Aram LeightonHOST
And, and OBP-wise too, he's hitting 305 with a 368 OBP.
Aram LeightonHOST
Are, are, are the counting stats gonna be great? No.
Aram LeightonHOST
It's easy...
Chris RoseHOST
You know-
Trevor PlouffeHOST
Second in OBP.
Trevor PlouffeHOST
I, I wouldn't say that the offense swings the Cubs' way.
Chris RoseHOST
Uh, but I ...
Trevor PlouffeHOST
Is this the right thing I have up right here?
Chris RoseHOST
But the way that runs are scored in playoffs, the-
Trevor PlouffeHOST
First in runs, first in OBP.
Trevor PlouffeHOST
Okay, there you go.
Jake MintzHOST
Without Aaron Judge, the Yankees were 26th in runs per game, 29th in batting average, 30th in on-base, 26th in slugging, and just 10th in home runs, which is low for them.
Jake MintzHOST
Before he went down, they were 4th in runs per game, 13th in batting average, 5th in OBP, 2nd in slugging, and 1st in home runs.
Jake MintzHOST
Thank you for listening to my podcast where I tell you that Aaron Judge helps the Yankees often.
Jordan ShustermanHOST
Yeah, I mean, the other point I would make about that, those splits, is...
Peter AppelHOST
He's hitting 314.
Peter AppelHOST
OBP at 432, 180 WRC+.
Peter AppelHOST
He's been the best hitter in baseball this season.
Peter AppelHOST
And with the Astros at the top of the American League West, there's really no argument there.
36 MINS LATER
Peter AppelHOST
So if Aaron judge is back to Aaron judge levels, the Yankees can make the world series and the Yankees can be the best team in the American league.
Peter AppelHOST
When Aaron Judge got put on the IL on May 31st, the Yankees offensive ranks since then.
Peter AppelHOST
So since Judge got hurt on May 31st, the Yankees ranked 29th in batting average, 30th in OBP, 26th in slugging, and 29th in WRC plus with the second highest strikeout rate in all of baseball.
Peter AppelHOST
And yet the record is 46 and 39.
Robbie BaseballHOST
But his season as a 19-year-old was decent.
Robbie BaseballHOST
313 OBP, almost 500 slugs, six home runs, 801 OPS, and a 240, 239 OBP.
Robbie BaseballHOST
batting average somewhere like that for 19 years old.
Robbie BaseballHOST
Um, decent raw average, certainly somebody to consider.
Robbie BaseballHOST
So earlier I had mentioned Luis de Leon.
Robbie BaseballHOST
This is Houston Astro, 19 year old line that I think is legitimate and why Luis de Leon is who we should be excited about on the mounds.
Robbie BaseballHOST
And in the batter's box, 390 average, 482 OBP, 559 slug.
Robbie BaseballHOST
However, four home runs, but 1,042 OPS, five stolen bases.
Johnny C.HOST
Phillies, Rays, let us see it.
Aidan SmithHOST
I think Harper's, uh, shade under 400 OBP, right? And he's having a pretty good year.
Aidan SmithHOST
Yeah, 389 right now.
Johnny C.HOST
Love it.
Aidan SmithHOST
Trea Turner, what is going on with Trea, man? A 292 OBP this year.
Aidan SmithHOST
132 K's.
Johnny C.HOST
Is that good?
Johnny C.HOST
[laughs]
Simon SalikasHOST
The, they, just the Cubs in.
Simon SalikasHOST
Uh, batting average, home runs, RBIs, OBP, and hits.
Simon SalikasHOST
Pretty much every category.
Simon SalikasHOST
I'm sure you can get very fancy with some other numbers.
