Well, it’s been a mixed bag for Texas Rangers third baseman Joey Gallo this season. He’s hitting monster home run balls, but his strikeout rate is enormous and it could actually be hurting the team.
This season Gallo is hitting .188 with 13 home runs and 29 RBI with 63 strikeouts in 43 games. Currently, Gallo sits tied at second in the MLB in home runs behind Yankees young slugger Aaron Judge, and Braves veteran first baseman Freddie Freeman.
There is no denying his power numbers are legitimate and he can rake with some of the best in the league.
