Really really like this one, so I want to share it on the TL
All my plays and write-ups👉 https://t.co/jmzWld211G
Super small sample sizes, but here’s why I like Song for this ladder 👇
1) he is 5/16 (313) vs mays mix, all singles, and has 2 walks over the last 5 weeks. So matchup for the sample size, not bad
2) he’s reached first safely this season 13 times total, and has attempted a steal 6 times, and been successful in 4 of those. For my mathematicians, that’s nearly a 50% attempt rate if he’s on 1st base.
The 7 times he reached safely and did not steal, this was the context
- 2 pitch AB leading to single
- 1 pitch sac bunt
- 1 pitch HR
- bases loaded and he was walked
- just didn’t go (batter before was caught stealing but could have
- runner on 2nd
- 3 pitch single
3) career vs May, 0-1 with a walk, so he’s seen him, and worked an 8 pitch walk, small sample size but not a disaster to scare me away
4) There have been 9 stolen base attempts vs May this season, 5 successful 4 caught stealing
5) Crooks is catching, this is what sells me. Crooks has started at catcher 18 times over the last 2 seasons, in those 18 games, he’s allows 6 steals, and caught 0 base runners.
So with all that in mind, yea, give me Song and play the hits ‼️
