I mean my take was referencing this year and nothing here mentioned that. I stand by what is obvious he's been brutal this season with men on base. In fact he has struggled to even advance the runner with tons of ks and pop ups. Not the end of the world but it's a fact. As they say you can look it up. More games like tonight would be a boost.

You would rather have Tyrone Taylor this year?

And my response is it's a small sample size and a lot of it potentially noise given he's been great with RISP otherwise in his career.

You take the bottom line numbers which are most important by far (i.e., 125 wRC+).

And this isn't saying he couldn't stand to improve his approach with RISP (or in general). Because he definitely can. Good thing he's only 22!

Hard to believe Chourio (3/11/04) is a full year and a half younger than Wetherholt (9/10/02), who is the odds-on favorite for ROY in the NL. And this is Chourio's third season!

I think the RISP numbers this year could be that he's pressing more in those situations.  When he's chasing pitches outside the zone, the only chance he has is if the pitcher makes a mistake.  When he's patient and laying off the junk, he is a real force.  I think that will improve as he matures.

@Jake McKibbin just wrote an article about Chourio’s splits and he’s definitely been pressing with RISP. He has gone full Hackson mode this year with RISP with like a 71% zone swing and 45% chase rate.

I saw this and it confirmed what I've been referencing. Just saying he needs to get back to basics. If so watch out.
