Didi Gregorius Hits Eighth Homer Sunday Versus Marlins
3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius launched a solo homer on Sunday in a win versus the Marlins. It was his only hit in four at-bats as the veteran shortstop is batting just .221 on the season. He does have eight homers and a .405 slugging percentage, but Statcast paints a different picture as his xSLG is a meager .299 with an expected batting average of just .210. Gregorius' barrel rate is his lowest since 2015 and he ranks below average in terms of average exit velocity. He'll pop the occasional homer and take his walks, but Gregorius is an unappealing shortstop option in most fantasy leagues.
