The question regarding Eugenio Suarez may finally be answered by the Cincinnati Reds. Will he be able to turn long at-bats into walks? In his first two seasons he was inconsistent in that outcome. Now Suarez is ready to breakout after being overrated early on last year.
Through eleven games in 2017, Suarez is getting on base an amazing .452 clip. That means he has nearly a 50-50 chance of getting on base every time he steps to the plate. A large part is his 13-for-36 start, but he is still adding 90 points to his OBP via walks and other non-hit related ways.
