But is Carlos Rodon good or are the last 2 years a fluke?

I think he's closer to average than good.But he is good. You’re still thinking elite. But I’m not going to keep dwelling on it
Hitting2019? He hit 38 HRs with a juiced ball. Maybe Albies is the only one who Will get to 35 at 2B.
But anyway
2019 / 2023
BA .278 / .269
OBP .337 / .337
SLG .535 / .441
OPS+ 128 / 114
BB 48 / 46
SO 129 / 68 (would need to strike out 61 of his next 100 at bats to match the rate)
2B 26 / 18
3B 0 / 2
HR 38 / 18
RBI 90 / 48
R 96 / 65
108 PA / 104AB more in 2019.
You can say he has 60% of the power, sure. But also different ball.
EV is 0.3mph less and his hard hit is 0.2% more
Line drives, ground balls and fly balls all within 1% of 2019 & 2023. (Baseball ref, fan graphs actually has a higher EV and hard hit % in 2023)
Also pulling the ball 8% less than 2019. And distributed 4.3% more to center and 3.7% more oppo
Everything is as good or impacted by playing on a bad offensive team. 2019 team offense, 1st. 2023 offense, 20th.
And wRC+ was 125 compared to 115 now. That's a big difference in both, going from a little above average to good. I stand by my post. Hope he stays hot.OPS+ 128 / 114
