    Hunter Renfroe

    0 walks thru 17 games this year. 65 abs. 1 walk for his entire short MLB career. 100 abs. Bruh learn to look at a ****ing pitch every once in a blue moon. That is a retarded stat that will get you sent back to AAA. C34 gonna be sucking his own dick over this one pretty soon.

    Wasn't his claim that he would never hit .250 above like AA?

    Anyway, yes, he needs to walk. Like ever.

    Swings early in counts because he can't hit a breaking ball and wants to avoid it at all costs. This isn't about learning a better approach. It's about a hitter protecting against his weakness.

    He'll have to be a Kris Davis type to succeed in MLB.
    CAN'T PUT A SADDLE ON A MUSTANG

    Quit Your Bi$&$&?!, He's Not Going to Run the Ball More

    then he better be able to hit dingers on balls outside the zone like Vlad, because with that approach he'll never see a FB for a strike.

    Just went and checked out his stats and to add insult to injury - his lone walk was intentional. Ha!

    I thought of vlad when I read OP. Renfroe will never make contact like vlad... 95 is the most Ks vlad had in a season and that was 677 PAs

    Damn we have some haters in our fanbase. The dude is a rookie. All the way back to high school, he has adjusted well to the pitching talent at every level of baseball he has played after some intermediate period where he struggles initially. There is no reason not to expect that to continue. He's a high pick that is being well paid, so I'd expect the Padres to let him play through those struggles this year unless he just totally collapses. But right now, he still has a career .280 average in MLB and .871 OPS even with the early struggles. Not too shabby. Yes, he needs to be more selective at the plate but that will come with time. He'll be fine.

    That's Jeff Francoeur territory. Guessing his career will look very similar unless something changes.

    C34 said Renfroe's bat would never keep him in MLB for an entire season. While C34 will probably end up on the wrong side of this one- Renfroe isn't helping his cause with all the K's

    As a matter of fact- I think the quote was "Renfroe is an all-star defender with a AA bat"

    Well, that certainly couldn't be more wrong, considering he's already raked the hell out of AAA pitching.

    And, in case anyone was wondering, he is 2-3 tonight against the Marlins with another well hit line-out as well, and what else? Yep, a walk.

    I remember he said that he would never hit over .250 and if he did to come talk to him then. After he hit so well last year, of course he said it was a fluke and not sustainable. But C34 definitely said he would never hit over.250

    MLB career= .291/.305/.544 ops .848

    oWAR = 0.6 in 29 games, comes out to about 3.4 over 162 games

    dWAR = -0.3 in 29 games, comes out to about -1.7 over 162 games

    Seems C34 has it mixed up so far on an admittingly small sample size

    Renfroe is hitting .231 currently- but he is still in MLB. Good for him
