Jorge Soler’s future with the Royals

Jorge Soler is quite the conundrum isn’t he? In the months of March, April, and May, he produced big power, bad defense, a 6% BB rate, and a 30.3% K rate. A wRC+ of 100 is not exactly what you need from a primary DH. Since then, he’s more than doubled his walk rate (13.2%), struck out at an average rate (24.2%), continued to hit dingers/produce runs (141 wRC+), and has even done this...

This could be a flash in the pan. We can’t be certain of either. What we can be certain of is that after this season, he’s likely to opt into arbitration.
