José Ramírez laced a rocket to deep right-center field to conclude his night at the dish on Wednesday, making that slight swell in your heart happen again that says, “He’s coming around. I feel it.”
That swat, a 100.6 mph, 28-degree fly with a .710 xAVG, landed safely into the glove of Miami Marlins center fielder Isaac Galloway, 395 feet away.
Just a matter of bad luck, it seems. If it seems to you as if Ramírez is having more and more of those moments, you are right.
The 26-year-old slugger is among the most unlucky players in baseball in terms of those expected (x) statistics.
