White Sox slugger's 31 homers masked by weak .685 OPS
Original: If you have 31 homers but your OPS is only .685, you’re doing a lot of things wrong. # WhiteSox # ALWS # MLB
Chicago White Sox fans are debating a hitter who has hit 31 home runs this season while posting an OPS of just .685, a figure well below league average. The argument is that all that power is being wasted by poor overall production — likely low on-base skills and bad situational hitting — leading to criticism that the player is 'doing a lot of things wrong' despite the home run total.
Why now: Fans are using the contrast between the impressive home run count and the poor OPS to criticize the player's overall offensive approach.
