Breakdown Marcus Semien

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among 2B's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 35th.
  • The current leader among 2B's is Andres Gimenez
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
  • Trending Batting Stats

  • Top 100 in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.143 and is currently ranked 76th
  • Top 100 in batting average with 0.105 and is currently ranked 83rd
  • Top 100 on base percentage and is currently ranked 81st with 0.150
  • Top 100 in slugging percentage and is currently ranked 84th with 0.105
  • Top 100 in on base plus slugging and is currently ranked 82nd with 0.255
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 251st in RBI with 1
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 716th in runs scored with 0
  • On second thought, he hasn't played in quite enough games for me to calculate a reliable analysis for you. Expect his rating to evolve over the next few days.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: AVG: -0.145, OBP: -0.25, HRs: EVEN, RBI: -3, Runs: -3, Wlks: -3, Stls: EVEN,
