MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Yelich wasnt a power hitter with the Marlins. He topped out at 20 homers with them and that was a big jump. He was a slappy doubles hitter until he came to the Brewers. Maybe he just figured something out, but he went from averaging around .430 SLG in Miami to .598 last year and now hes slugging over .800.



So now hes Barry Bonds. Its suspicious.

 

The prognostic have predicted more power for Yelich more some time. They have been waiting for this breakout (which happens to be in his age-27 year). Still, the fact that all 13 of his HRs have come in Miller Park is meaningful, as Biggz suggests.
