K ꓘ 152 - Guys Who Fell Off

Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung [https://twitter.com/chadyoung]) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball [https://twitter.com/PeteBBaseball]) take a look at a slew of hitters who followed solid 2023s up with terrible (or, in some cases, just not-as-great) 2024s. 7:42 - Chad's Head-to-Head Hero is Wyatt Langford [https://pitcherlist.com/player/wyatt-langford/] to close out the season. Pete went with Jonathan Aranda [https://pitcherlist.com/player/jonathan-aranda/]. 20:15 - Ronald Acuña Jr. [https://pitcherlist.com/player/ronald-acuna-jr/], Jose Altuve [https://pitcherlist.com/player/jose-altuve/], Matt Olson [https://pitcherlist.com/player/matt-olson/], Freddie Freeman [https://pitcherlist.com/player/freddie-freeman/], and Corey Seager [https://pitcherlist.com/player/corey-seager/] are all studs who technically took a statistical step back. Any concerns here? 22:45 - Some veterans that fell from being good in 2023 to bad in 2024 were Marcus Semien [https://pitcherlist.com/player/marcus-semien/], Ozzie Albies [https://pitcherlist.com/player/ozzie-albies/], JD Martinez, and Bo Bichette [https://pitcherlist.com/player/bo-bichette/]. What are we doing with this group? 32:08 - What are we doing with Luis Robert Jr. [https://pitcherlist.com/player/luis-robert-jr/] after this terrible season? 41:04 - Some players that kind of broke-out in 2023 were Nolan Jones [https://pitcherlist.com/player/nolan-jones/], Chas McCormick [https://pitcherlist.com/player/chas-mccormick/], Christian Encarnacion-Strand [https://pitcherlist.com/player/christian-encarnacion-strand/], Zack Gelof [https://pitcherlist.com/player/zack-gelof/], and Christopher Morel [https://pitcherlist.com/player/christopher-morel/]. Their 2024s were a lot less successful. 53:45 - In or out on Davis Schneider [https://pitcherlist.com/player/davis-schneider/]? Brandon Drury [https://pitcherlist.com/player/brandon-drury/]? Evan Carter [https://pitcherlist.com/player/evan-carter/]? Adam Duvall [https://pitcherlist.com/player/adam-duvall/]? Wilmer Flores? Mitch Garver [https://pitcherlist.com/player/mitch-garver/]? 58:56 - How early are we drafting Julio Rodriguez [https://pitcherlist.com/player/julio-rodriguez/] next year? 1:00:02 - In or out on Adolis García [https://pitcherlist.com/player/adolis-garcia/]? 1:00:45 - How about Spencer Torkelson [https://pitcherlist.com/player/spencer-torkelson/] and Triston Casas [https://pitcherlist.com/player/triston-casas/]? 1:05:35 - Josh Lowe [https://pitcherlist.com/player/josh-lowe/] had an alright 2024, but it wasn't what we hoped for. What do we expect from him in 2025?
