Trey Turner's Astonishing Season Despite Initial Struggles
Transcript
00:00 I think the first 10 rounds of the NFB see you pretty much have every starter
00:06 of the Phillies going off the board.
00:08 Yeah, I mean look even Brandon Marsh.
00:11 Remember there was about that three-week run last year where Brandon Marsh
00:14 couldn't stop hitting home runs another former top top prospect here in the
00:19 Phillies order.
00:20 If you look at the results of Trey Turner season, it's actually unbelievable.
00:24 He got to where he got when you remember how bad he was for like his first 200
00:29 plate appearances in the end.
00:30 He ends up hitting 26 home runs stealing 30 bases.
00:34 It was the lowest batting average of his entire career sitting there at 266.
00:38 It was the highest strikeout rate of his career because obviously the beginning
00:42 of the season all this dude could do was strike out.
00:45 He did end up getting it figured out.
00:46 I love investing in all of these guys, honestly at their cost probably the guy
00:52 I would not be as into Craig and I know it's going to hurt you because this is
00:56 this is your boy, but realm you go is now getting to the age of a catcher
01:01 slash DH slash first baseman.
01:03 He's going to turn 33 here in a couple days.
01:06 The thing that has made him so valuable as a catcher over the years is that he
01:10 adds 10 15 steals for you last season lowest batting average of his career.
01:15 He strikes out a little bit more.
01:16 He walks a little bit less.
01:17 I think that is indicative of a change of approach at the plate as a lot of
01:22 guys in baseball have done, you know, it's not necessarily saying skill
01:25 degradation, but you definitely are getting into the spot where I think you
01:28 probably are not counting on those 10 11 12 stolen bases from realmuto.
01:33 He's still pretty expensive.
01:35 I'll let you take him.
01:37 I will definitely let you take your buddy JT.
01:39 I think.
