Breakdown Maikel Garcia

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 22nd among 3B's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 4th.
  • The current leader among 3B's is Eugenio Suarez
  • He is doing much better than most people thought he would.
  • 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 75 in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.333 and is currently ranked 55th
  • Top 20 in batting average with 0.353 and is currently ranked 19th
  • Top 35 on base percentage and is currently ranked 30th with 0.421

  • Top 75 in HRs and is currently ranked 60th 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: +0.103, OBP: +0.148, HRs: EVEN, RBI: -3, Runs: +1, Wlks: +1, Stls: EVEN,
