There has been one irrepressible truth about Bryson Stott this year: he has been bad at the plate. Even though he raked while in Lehigh Valley after his demotion earlier this year, major league pitching has vexed him. We’re now at the point where the team needs to decide if he’s really a viable option at the plate and what the plan is moving forward.
Now, the positive is that on defense, Stott has actually been pretty good at shortstop. His -1 OAA number is middle of the table as far as shortstops go (min. 10 chances), but it is still better than Didi Gregorius, who sits at -3 OAA himself.
