Good article on how bad Brinson has been. That Yelich guy ever turn into anything?

This season, the South Florida native is slashing .194/.247/.264 through 78 plate appearances. Even adjusting for the run environment at Marlins Park, that’s a 41 wRC+ and .228 wOBA—both marks put his offense in the bottom 10% of all major leaguers (min. 50 PA). It has been a maddening continuation of Brinson’s rookie campaign (.199/.240/.338, 56 wRC+, .248 wOBA).

There is consensus among evaluators that Brinson possesses above-average speed and above-average power. Neither tool has translated to the big leagues. He has two stolen bases in 134 regular season games for the Marlins, fewer than Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Belt have in comparable playing time over that span. His 11 total home runs trail role players like Daniel Descalso, Charlie Culberson and Hernán Pérez. We have seen no encouraging signs from his bat since Opening Day with zero long balls, strikeouts in one-third of all plate appearances and a 44th-percentile hard-hit rate.

The Nationals' youth movement is officially in full swing -- homer swing, that is.

Juan Soto, Victor Robles and Carter Kieboom made history on Sunday against the Padres, becoming the first trio in at least 111 years to have three players 21 or younger to homer in the same game.

No team since the 1997 Marlins has had three different players in the starting lineup under the age of 22, let alone all go deep in the same game.

Nice little offensive core.
