Lewis Brinson’s first 31 games in a Marlins uniform have come with his fair share of struggles at the dish. He is currently hitting .168/.233/.299 which equates to a wRC+ of 46 which is well below the average of 100.
Brinson’s main problems so far have been his strikeouts and his batted ball profile. He currently strikes out in 35.9% of his at-bats, which is fifth worst in baseball behind Giancarlo Stanton. He is also in the bottom 23% among qualified hitters for BB% which does not help supplement his high strikeout rates.
A player’s batted ball profile tells you a lot about the type of hitter a particular player is.
