Christian Yelich may need to tweak his swing

Related Topics: Christian Yelich, Marlins Park, Miami

Christian Yelich is a really good hitter, but he could be better.

That alone isn’t groundbreaking analysis -- the general consensus seems to be that Marlins Park is one of the worst places for hitters in the majors, and that’s evident in Yelich’s home/road splits. For his career, he’s hit .280/.364/.398 in Miami and .300/.373/.462 everywhere else, and OPS difference of nearly 70 points.

But that isn’t what this is about.

It’s generally assumed that Yelich will see a boost in his numbers with the switch to Miller Park, and while that will likely be the case, the difference may not be as drastic as you may think.
