Breakdown Luis Garcia Jr.

    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

  • Ranked 135th in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.154
  • Ranked 145th in batting average with 0.125
  • Not overly impressive with on base percentage currently ranked 159th with 0.125
  • Not too impressive with slugging percentage currently ranked 152nd with 0.125
  • Not too impressive with on base plus slugging currently ranked 156th with 0.250

  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 352nd in RBI with 1
  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 548th 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: -0.057, OBP: -0.125, HRs: EVEN, RBI: +1, Runs: -1, Wlks: -1, Stls: +1,
