He nearly doubled his power output from 2016 in fewer plate appearances as he continued his push to hit more fly balls. The early part of his career saw his batted-ball trends heading in the wrong direction, with him hitting nearly 50 percent of his batted balls into the ground in 2015, but that rate decreased each of the past two seasons as his power numbers have increased. This comes from a guy that Milwaukee waived right before the 2017 season, making him one of the most productive waiver claims in recent years. He is not a complete waste against lefties these days, but Gennett still inflicts a majority of his damage against righties. Sure, the overall numbers in 2017 were a bit front-loaded, but he was still an above-average offensive player in the second half as well."},"mostRecentNews":{"date":"Sat Sep 15","news":"Gennett is not in the lineup against the Cubs on Saturday.","spin":"Gennett will receive a day off following five straight starts as southpaw Jon Lester occupies the mound for Chicago.
