There are a lot of arguments from fans that Carlos Santana’s season thus far has been a failure. If you look at the stats, you can see where they are coming from. Through Sunday’s game, Santana’s slash line sits at .221/.342/.432 with 10 home runs, an OPS+ of 111 and a wRC+ of 110. Most of these numbers are within shouting distance of his career averages, but still come in as being below them. What they may not have noticed is that he has recovered after an absolutely brutal March/April, having hit .274/.381/.556 since May 1 with nine of those home runs from when the calendar changed to May.
Hey guess what? The Phillies’ Carlos Santana is good!
