Twins outfielder Joey Gallo is one of the most confounding players in baseball, and he made one of the most confounding plays of the season on Sunday.
Gallo is having a very weird season. He has a slash line of .179/.298/.459, with 17 home runs and 105 strikeouts in 255 plate appearances. His strikeout rate of 41.2% is the highest among players with at least 150 plate appearances. But by OPS+ and wRC+, he’s actually an above-average hitter.
What those numbers illustrate is clear: Gallo’s strength is his power. More than half of his hits this season are home runs.

Watson’s latest comments show that he’s learned nothing.
Deshaun Watson doesn’t get it, and he has absolutely no desire of getting it. That’s the takeaway from the quarterback’s first interview upon arriving at Browns training camp. A remorseless Watson stood in front of reporters on Sunday calling the allegations of at least 25 women for sexual misconduct, which he settled in civil court, a construct of the media who directed a “narrative” against him.
This wasn’t a case of misconstruing Watson’s words, or taking something out of context.
Human beings like shiny, new things. Whether it’s a kid getting a brand-new toy on Christmas morning or buying a new car with all the bells and whistles, we want the latest in everything. But sometimes, the new stuff isn’t as good as the stuff we’ve been used to in the past. New toys might be too complicated to understand, and not as fun, and new cars could have bugs that make life more of a headache.
This bodes true in the world of fantasy football, too.
