Since the fifth game of the season, Chapman has hit .179/.220/.339, with two walks and 16 strikeouts in 59 PA. That’s a pitcher. That’s Mike Krukow’s career batting line with a couple extra homers.

Gee, anybody see the K machine coming?

Anyone?

I didn’t see any respected voices voice a concern about it, no.

Flores is the anti-Chapman in some respects. He constantly hits the ball softer than his peers, but he typically gets more hits than the average player. His exit velocities are much, much closer to all-glove, no-hit players like Myles Straw than most of the 20-homer players around baseball, but he’s been doing it for a while, so he’s clearly doing something that works.

Just not this year. He’s now in the bottom 10 in exit velocity, which is even worse than before, and almost every hitter in baseball has hit a ball harder than him this season
