Jackie Bradley Jr has immense potential, that much can be said. The problem seems to be, and always has been, his ability to tap into his potential on a consistent basis. After getting called up at just 22 years old in 2013, it was clear Jackie was lacking something at the plate. In his first full season in the big leagues, he failed to record a batting average over .200 and finishd with a pedestrian wRC+ of 46 (meaning he was 54 percent worse than the league-average hitter).
Bradley missed more than half of 2015, but at the outset of the 2016 season, it seemed like he was finally on his way to stardom.
