Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers made his Major League debut in 2022 and slashed .253/.306/.418 across 34 games. While he is certainly off to a good start, I think Stowers has the potential to be even better in 2023. If you prefer video breakdowns: Power Potential from the Left Side of the Plate Stowers’ biggest…
The Toronto Blue Jays and their All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette could not come to an agreement on Bichette’s salary for the 2023 season. Bo Bitchette is asking for $7.5 million, and the Blue Jays are offering $5 million. With a $2.5 million gap between proposed salaries, it seems more and more likely that Bichette’s case…

Gary Sánchez followed up his all-star 2019 season with the worst season of his career. Despite struggling to the point where he was benched in the playoffs, Sánchez rebounded and has come out swinging in 2021 (literally). He’s hitting .238/.345/.492 on the year with a wRC+ of 128 (28% above average). Sánchez’s approach remains the…
Bo Bichette is an above average hitter with a lot of potential. So far this season he is hitting .284/.332/.500. His stat line this year is still above average, but down from the past two seasons. Bichette has a very aggressive approach at the plate and has gotten good results so far. But what can…
