The Milwaukee Brewers managed to reach the NLCS despite a rough season from shortstop Orlando Arcia. The Brewers had high hopes for Arcia entering 2018, but he got off to a bad start, got demoted, and had a rough season. He’s penciled in as the starting shortstop once again for 2019, but can he deliver the quality season that the team needs?
How rough was Arcia’s 2018 season?
Arcia slashed .236/.268/.307 in 119 games at the Major League level. He walked at a 4.1% rate, and struck out at a 23.8% rate. He did provide a positive impact in the field, but was a drain on the offense.
