Breakdown Luis Arraez

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among 1B's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 27th.
  • The current leader among 1B's is Kyle Manzardo
  • 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 0.050 and is currently ranked 86th
  • Top 100 in batting average with 0.056 and is currently ranked 87th
  • Top 100 on base percentage and is currently ranked 88th with 0.095
  • Top 100 in slugging percentage and is currently ranked 87th with 0.056
  • Top 100 in on base plus slugging and is currently ranked 88th with 0.151
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 263rd in RBI with 1
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 746th 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: -0.144, OBP: -0.265, HRs: EVEN, RBI: +1, Runs: -3, Wlks: -4, Stls: EVEN,
