With the start of the new season, our week's red and blue charts are back. Let's see which players started well in the first week of the new season and who is still "hibernating"!
Red List
Steven Kwan, Guardians fielder: .800 strikes, 4 points
The fledgling 24-year-old outfielder made a good start to his major league career. In three games, although he did not deliver home runs or RBIs, he made an astonishing 12 base runs in 14 hits, including eight hits, three drops and one touch ball. Especially in Sunday's match local time, he hit five hits in five hits and ran back four points to help the team beat the Reals 17-3.
In the major league rookie rankings before the start of the season, Guan was not favored by professionals, not only did he not make it into the top 100 rookies in the major leagues, but even ranked only 15th in the Guardians' farm system. But there is never a shortage of seemingly ordinary talent in the baseball world who have worked hard to complete the story of counterattack, and will young Steven-Off become the next "Cinderella" of major leagues?
Nolan Arenado, Cardinals third baseman: .500 strikes, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs
After a season of running-in, Arenado, who entered the second season of the Cardinals' career, was in hot form, contributing 7 RBIs ahead of major leagues in the first three games of the new season, and helping the team to a 2-1 record in the showdown with the Pirates. If such a top-notch output can be maintained, perhaps the fifth Silver Rod Award of his career at the end of the season will not be a luxury.
Matt Olson, Warriors first baseman: .571 hits, 1 home run, 1 RBIs
Taking over the homecoming former Warriors soul Freddie Freeman's first-baseman defense zone is certainly not an easy task, but Olson's excellent performance this week may make Warriors fans briefly forget their heroes of the previous 12 years. During the week, Olson hit eight of the most major league hits tied for the level, seamlessly into the Warriors' playing line.
Blue list
Salvador Perez, Real take over: .000 strikes, 0 home runs, 0 RBIs
Last season's major league home run king and dot king Perez was out of the league in the new season, feeling cold in his 12 playing positions in the first three games of the new season, no hits, no punctures or points, not even guarantees. But considering that only two of his 12 outs were three-strikes, perhaps he was just unlucky enough to fail to hit the thin defensive spot. I believe that the experienced veteran will definitely be able to make adjustments and regain his hot batting state last season.
Max Muncy, Dodgers interior: .077 strikes, 0 home runs, 0 RBIs
Dodgers, the biggest favourites to win the title this season, met Waterloo in the first series of the season and lost the series with Rockies, which is inseparable from the sluggish performance of Mansy, who they pinned on and put at the heart of the line.
In particular, in two defeats, As the team's fourth-baseman, Muncy failed to hit a single hit in eight hits, leaving five bases and watering the Dodgers' hopes of scoring. If the Dodgers want to fulfill the fans' expectations and get the leading position in the division, then neither Muncy nor their entire line of attacking index of just .578 in this series must not sleep any longer.
Brandon Woodruff, Brewers starting pitcher: 3.2 innings, 17.18 ERA
Last season's stunning Brewers starters suffered a dull shot against the less powerful Cubs, with Celeron Award winner Corbin Burnes giving up three runs in five innings and Woodruff, who finished fifth in the Cy young awards last year, losing seven runs in the second game of the series.
Woodruff may have had problems with possession of the ball in this game, sending three saves and two touch balls to swallow a defeat. Brewers, who rely heavily on the performance of the starting group, if they can't adjust their double ace back to last season's level as soon as possible, I am afraid that their difficulty in competing for a playoff spot this season will increase sharply.
