Breakdown Otto Lopez

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among 2B's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 2nd.
  • 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 20 in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.375 and is currently ranked 19th
  • Among the best in batting average with 0.400 and is currently ranked 5th
  • Among the best in on base percentage and is currently ranked 3rd with 0.478
  • Top 10 in slugging percentage and is currently ranked 10th with 0.700
  • Top 10 in on base plus slugging and is currently ranked 9th with 1.178
  • Top 75 in steals and is currently ranked 73rd with 1
  • Top 100 in walks and is currently ranked 87th with 3
  • Top 25 in RBI and is currently ranked 21st with 6
  • Top 75 in runs scored and is currently ranked 62nd with 4
  • Top 50 in HRs and is currently ranked 41st with 2
  • 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: +0.4, OBP: +0.478, HRs: +2, RBI: +6, Runs: +4, Wlks: +3, Stls: +1,
