Show notes
Chad (@ChadYoung) takes you through a list of hitters whose overall season wOBA is at least .020 points better or worse than what they have done since May 1. For some of these guys, a rough April is hiding a pretty solid season; for others, a great April (or even a great 10 days) is making an unimpressive season look good. Either way, you'll want to think twice about how you interpret the season-long lines from J.D. Martinez, Avisail Garcia, Ryan Mountcastle, and others.Join Pitcher List Plus and get an ad-free website and access to the Pitcher List Discord community, while supporting the podcast.Timestamps2:58 - The ten players whose wOBA since May 1 is the furthest below their season-long line.4:22 - The decline of Nick Solak7:37 - He makes this list, but that's no reason to worry about with Ronald Acuna, Jr.8:16 - Carson Kelly is being carried by a hot start10:50 - 10 Great Days and a Season of Mediocrity: The J.D.
