Max Stassi Homers Again Tuesday
3 years agoLos Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi hit his second long ball in his last three games, a second-inning, two-run shot that put the Angels up 2-0 to the Texas Rangers before ultimately losing 5-2. He ended the day 1-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Stassi put up great numbers in the first half, slashing .296/.377/.496 in 36 games, but then fell off a cliff after the All-Star break. Over 46 games since the break, he's put up just a .704 OPS while hitting .215 and had a 21 game homeless streak. Overall, he's batting .249, slugging .440 and has 13 HRs thus far. Hopefully, Stassi is finding his groove again and can be one of the more offensively gifted catchers in baseball. He can be rostered in most leagues but shouldn't take a starting spot away from someone more consistent.
