AI Summary
Ke'Bryan Hayes went 0-for-4 with two double plays in Tuesday's win against the Phillies. Despite his poor .142/.195/.225 slash line through 128 plate appearances, advanced metrics suggest he's been unlucky with a .262 xBA and .417 xSLG, indicating regression is likely coming.
Ouch. Hayes is hitting a pretty incredible .142/.195/.225 through 128 plate appearances. Statcast thinks he's been extremely unlucky, as he entered tonight with a .262 xBA and a .417 xSLG. He has underachieved some on his xSLG previously, but never like this, and his average and xBA have always matched up very closely prior to this year. Hayes also has a career-best 16 percent strikeout rate. So, he's probably not going to continue to be anywhere near this bad. It's just hard to sell Reds fans on that idea right now.
