When Milwaukee breweries decided not to trade Willy Adames before the MLB 2024 season, everyone knew that he would eventually leave the free agency. However, Milwaukee felt that they needed him in the team last year to shoot the season.
While Adames was an critical member of the team last year, hit. San Francisco Giants.
Instead, Brewers moved Joey Ortiz from the third base to Shortstop and decided to rely on their juvenile players who take steps in their development to compensate for the production they lost when Adames left. In addition, they hoped that hearty Christian Yelich He would make a place where he passed last year before he finished the surgery in the season.
Christian Yelich is snail-paced to Milwaukee brewers
Last season Yelich hit .315/.406/.504 with 11 gears at home, 42 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 75 matches before the end of the season. For the first time in his career he was recognized as a starter to the National League All-Star team, which was his third general performance in Midsummer Classic.
Certainly it seemed that he was ready to pick up where he was interrupted. During the spring training NL MVP 2018 reached .353/.389/.735 with three home runs and 11 RBI.
However, spring training statistics are nothing when the regular season begins, and Yelich began slowly.
Entering the game on Wednesday, he hit .150/.261/.317 with three home runs and 10 RBI. The most disturbing, he struck 18 times in 17 games.
Asked if he is worried about his snail-paced start, Designated Hitter Milwaukee said“This is a snail-paced start, but I was there before. I told someone one day: for a few years it is like downhill skiing, nice, glossy and straightforward all year. You start high and you are there all the time. And then other years you have a tough hat and a shovel, and you kick the season.
“Everyone plays differently and I know how to move both. There is a much less panic when you do it for a long time. You realize how long it is a year. It will turn to me. I will not be worried. I don’t worry about it.”
And although it was only a few games, it seems that things have actually changed.
The Milwaukee Brewers Christian Yelich star has a mini scorching streak
On Tuesday, Yelich went 1-4 against Detroit Tigers in the Milwaukee 5-0 win. Although the game 1-4 is not really to rush twice, it was significant because it went through a total of 0-12 in each of the brewer matches from Arizona Diamondback in the previous series.
Then, on Wednesday, three times All-Star went 2-4 with the fourth house in the season. Now his blink line has begun to improve, although slightly and is .172/.274/.375.
The most glaring concern, as mentioned, is that Yelich pops up a lot. Even in the last two games, in which he survived 3-8 (.375), he released four times.
Entering on Wednesday, Yelich had 26.1% of the strike. The only time he had a season in which he had a higher strike indicator, in his pathetic 2020 season, when he struck 30.8% of the time.
Considering this, its average exit speed on Wednesday was 91.4 mph. Last year, when he was a star, it was 90.3 mph. Its robust percentage of the ball is currently 51.2%. Last year it was 46.9%.
In other words, when he puts the ball, he actually hits it better than last season. The problem is that he puts the ball into the game, at least nowadays.
But if the last two games indicate that he has figured it out, he could cause early brewers.
