Joey Gallo is probably the most controversial player on the Texas Rangers. Some fans love to see him hit monster home runs, while others decry his numerous strikeouts. He’s only been with the team for two full seasons, but he’s become a lightning rod for arguments about traditional stats and the three true outcomes (strikeouts, walks and home runs).
I recently saw someone on Twitter complaining about Gallo and wishing the Rangers still had Mitch Moreland. I thought that would be an interesting comparison to make. Moreland was an All-Star last season and won the World Series with the Boston Red Sox.
