I’ll be the first to admit that after the first half of Joey Gallo’s season, I was ready to consider him a lost cause and trade bait. Before the All-Star break in mid-July, Gallo was hitting just .187 and posted an on-base percentage under .300. He looked like a caricature of himself literally becoming an all or nothing hitter who either hit a homerun or struck out. Striking out in almost 42% of his pre-All Star at-bats, I will even admit that I wrote an article saying essentially, the Texas Rangers were better off trading the big lefty.
