About a month ago, Matt Wilkes did a wonderful deep dive on Jose Peraza’s power and whether or not it could be sustained. I won’t rehash Matt’s insights, but I will offer a comparison as a footnote to his comprehensive breakdown.
Those of you paying attention likely have deduced that our own Jose Peraza is Player A. Player B is Peraza’s closest intra-positional peer, and still clearly better than Jose this past season.
Except, not actually by all that much. Yes, Player B’s AVG and OBP are about 15 points better than Jose’s, but BABIP accounts for most of the difference.
