We’re at the point of the season that we kinda know who players are. At least we think we do. Are they performing up to expectations or are the struggling to live up to the hopes placed on their shoulders? That said, do we really “know” who players are? Is it possible that the guy that started out hot has seen his performance cave of late? Perhaps that slow starter, whose overall numbers are still lacking, has actually performed pretty darn well of late? Let’s investigate how these players have performed of late and see if they meet your expectations for the players.

Some absurdity the last 30 days for sure with some massive efforts.
Charlie Blackmon .412-10-25-30 with a .423 ISO.
Jackie Bradley has a .326/.431/.593 slash line, just every so slightly ahead of the 1.015 OPS of Eric Flippin’ Sogard (.372/.419/.596).
Miguel Cabrera’s last 21 games: .343/.392/.471 with a .367 wOBA and 131 wRC+.
Garrett Cooper has hit .367 with a .991 OPS over 23 games as he’s also scored 19 runs.
Nelson Cruz is back to ripping it up. Over 103 plate appearances he went .303/.398/.663 with nine homers and 24 RBI.
Lourdes Gurriel might have the yips when he throws, but seemingly everything he swings at right now ends up laced somewhere. The young man has a 1.115 OPS with 10 homers, 20 RBI and 23 runs scored in 27 outings.
Eric Hosmer’s last 26 games have resulted in 26 RBI, a .308 average and a .371 OBP with .490 SLG.
Manny Machado led baseball with 11 homers and was third with 30 RBI. The only men with more RBI were David Dahl (32) and Freddie Freeman (31).
DJ LeMahieu has a .404-6-27-26 mark over 24 games. Read that again. He has a 197 wRC+, almost twice a normal fella.
Max Muncy has eight homers and 22 RBI in 25 games with a .400 OBP and .982 OPS.
Shohei Ohtani might only qualify at UT, but can the men ever rake: .356/.388/.744 for a 1.132 OPS. In 26 games he has nine homers and four steals.
Fernando Tatis .381-5-15-27-7 in 22 games is preposterously impressive.

Anyone on the above list is someone that has been disappointing (duh). Chief on this list is likely Austin Meadows who has just stopped hitting with a .560 OPS. That’s only one point worse than Joc Pederson who has lost a lot of his early season luster as well. Both men, once ascending stars in the fantasy game, have flatlined. Still, the most disappointing player has been Paul Goldschmidt. Over his last 25 games he’s hit .167 with two homers and a .531 OPS. A former superstar, Goldy just produced a 30-day stretch with a 46 wRC+ mark showing him to be half of average. Truly abysmal.
Harrison Bader isn’t rosterable. The last 30: .149-1-5-7-3 with a .559 OPS.
Lorenzo Cain has hit .224 with one homer, five RBI and a .313 OBP. Five steals only thing that stands out. Thumb or not, he has to hit better.
Matt Carpenter can’t locate his lost game. His last 21 he’s hit .205 with a .370 SLG. At least he’s stolen four bags.
Avisail Garcia has predictably slowed with a .233 average and .279 OBP the last 25 games. He’s also not driving the ball at all with a .330 SLG.
Aaron Jones had one homer, one steal, six RBI, a .213 average and a .538 OPS.
Renato Nunez flashes, then vanishes. The last 24 he has three homers, nine RBI and a .213 average.
Stephen Piscotty has the worst qualifying OBP in the game at .200. He also hit .152.
Austin Riley still provided six homers and 21 RBI, but take not that he hit a mere .225 with a .288 OBP.
Jonathan Schoop finally got the bat going, but then it all ended. Some health woes have gotten in the way, no doubt, but the last 30-days he’s been terrible (.228/.256/.380 with five RBI). His approach is one that will lead to peaks and values.
Jean Segura still isn’t hitting. This one is slightly vexing. The last 20 he’s hit .229 with a .261 OBP and two steals. Much better of course, but some concern is starting to creep in.
