Blink and you missed Bobby Bradley’s contributions to the Cleveland Indians in 2019. The slugging first-base prospect — who leads all Indians minor leaguers in home runs over the last decade — hit just one ball out of the park and whiffed in nearly half of his at-bats in his first taste of the big leagues.
None of his strikeout issues were a mystery leading up to his debut, but it was thought that his power could overcome a propensity for striking out — if not 40-home run potential, at least a lot of extra-base hits.
