After an incredible debut with the Blue Jays in 2018, which included nine doubles and four home runs in just 23 games, Rowdy Tellez came back to earth in 2019. A season in which he slashed .227/.293/.449 with more than a strikeout per game. This amounted to a .308 wOBA (weighted on base average), which was nearly 4% below the league average wOBA of .320.
Tellez is roughly an average defender at first base per UZR, DRS, or OAA. But, as a first baseman/designated hitter type, we want Tellez to be an everyday threat in the lineup.
