Let’s get one thing right: Ke’Bryan Hayes is just not ready.
At least not at the plate. Hayes is slashing .252/.338/.385 with a 35 percent strikeout rate in 134 Triple-A at-bats. That k-rate is easily the worst of his career, as he had never been above 20.2 percent in any of his full minor league seasons to date.
So get ready for an even healthier dose of Colin Moran, at least while Jung Ho Kang attempts to relocate that which made him a legitimate power threat without looking lost at the plate.
Warts and all:
To add to his foibles in the field, Moran has been decidedly so-so at the plate in 2019.
