Carter Jensen — OVER 0.5 HOME RUN
- Carter Jensen gets a lefty-versus-righty matchup against Troy Melton with encouraging recent contact behind him.
Vs RHP:
• .224 AVG
• .433 SLG
• .209 ISO
• 12 HR in 245 ABs
Pitcher Matchup:
• Melton has allowed a .368 SLG to left-handed hitters
• Lefties own a .217 ISO against him
• 6 of his 7 HR allowed have come against LHB
• 1.78 HR/9 allowed to left-handed hitters
Recent Form:
• 14 HR on the season
• Homered once over his last 10 games
• 12 of his 14 homers have come against right-handed pitching
Contact Metrics:
• 100.5 MPH average exit velocity over his last 5 ABs
• 40% barrel rate over his last 5 ABs
• 11.8% barrel rate on the season
• Recent balls traveled 416.2 and 405.3 feet
• Those two batted balls were hit at 106.70 and 104.32 MPH
Why I like it:
- Jensen’s power has come primarily against righties, with 12 homers in 245 at-bats, Melton has allowed six of his seven home runs to left-handed hitters.
Jensen’s recent 40% barrel rate shows he is squaring the ball up at an elite level, Back-to-back 400+ foot batted balls prove the power is trending in the right direction.
- Jensen may not have the strongest average, but the recent quality of contact is impossible to ignore. With two straight 400+ foot rockets and a pitcher who has allowed nearly all his homers to lefties, Jensen has real upside to go deep. 💣🔥
