There may not be a more perplexing player in Major League Baseball than Texas Rangers’ outfielder, Joey Gallo. He brings awe to fans through his extraordinary power; yet, frustration through his extreme all-or-nothing output at the plate. Frankly, no one really knows what to think of him.
Fans can’t stand Gallo’s inconsistency, but they also can’t stop rewinding their televisions every time he blasts a home run. He makes for awesome highlight reels, but he’s far from a polished hitter. The stat that is totally baffling is Gallo’s ZERO sacrifice flies in his 1,082 career at-bats. If he wants to be considered elite, or even good, he must at least slightly refine his game.
