Jorge Soler Homers In Win Over Athletics
4 years agoKansas City Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in the team's 6-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The home run was his sixth of the year and his second over his past four games. Soler has had a dreadful season at the plate. Through 57 games, he's slashing just .179/.271/.337. However, he ranks in the 95th percentile in both average exit velocity (93.2 mph) and max exit velocity (115.1 mph) and in the 92nd percentile in hard-hit rate (52.8%). He'll hurt fantasy managers in batting average most of the year, but he should start generating better power numbers soon.
