Ryan Schimpf Isn’t Hitting His Weight, And I Don’t Care

The phrase is no longer "Chicks dig the longball," it's "Chicks dig the flyball." From the forgotten (Yonder Alonso) to our freshest superstars (Francisco Lindor), the want for more lift in hopes of combating infield shifts hasn't played favorites in the style of hitter it acquires. While Alonso and Lindor lead list of qualified hitters with the largest increase in flyball percentage compared to last year, another name sits atop the list of hitters with the highest overall flyball rates in 2017. Ryan Schimpf (63.8%). I'm barely five months into my Razzball tenure and this is my second column about a San Diego Padres' player (Austin Hedges was my first). Maybe my next one will be about that first basemen who has been better than Anthony Rizzo! Wil Myers who?
