Nick Pratto’s first trip through the big leagues did not go as planned. The main concern for him as he was hitting well in double and triple-A was that his strike-out rate would be problematic in the bigs. That is exactly what hampered his debut. Still, there are some positives from his 2022 season, and he is far from a bust at this early stage of his career.
Pratto began 2022 in Omaha where he slashed .228/.369/.449, which is pretty good, but a step down from his 2021 numbers at the same level. The big problem was a considerable drop in slugging, nearly 200 points.
