    Boston Red Sox 2021 Season Preview: Can Jeisson Rosario add even a little bit of power

    in Get Started with Your Forum

    Welcome to the annual Over The Monster One Big Question season preview series. Over the next 40 days, we will be running through every player on the 40-man roster and identifying a key question for them pertaining to the coming season. This should run us up to the start of the season, at least as it is scheduled now. We will go through the roster in alphabetical order. For the most part, these will run Monday through Friday every week running up to the week before Opening Day, though expect some weekend posts mixed in as well as the 40-man is expected to continue to be altered before the start of the season https://www.crfanstore.com/327-hal_mcrae_jersey. You can catch up with every post by following . Today we take a look at Jeisson Rosario.The Question: Can Jeisson Rosario bring a little bit of power into his gameAs has been well publicized both here and elsewhere, the And what has he shown Well, almost nothing. Over his three seasons as a pro, the highest ISO he posted is just .080. Comparing major-league lines to minor-league lines is far from a perfect science so take any of this with the appropriate grain of salt, but it worth pointing out that over the last five seasons only three players have put up a league-average linewhile carrying an ISO of no more than .080, minimum 250 plate appearances. Rosario defense could allow him to be a bit below average at the plate and still be a quality starter , but it still not what you looking for in a prospect.So now the question moves over to how likely is this to happen, and how does it occur. Unfortunately, the answer to the first question is not very likely. This has always been Rosario profile, and it unlikely to change. If he were to bulk up too much for more power, the losses in the field and on the bases would probably be too much to be worth it Jonathan India Jersey. One thing he can work on, though, is actually walking a bit less Art Warren Jersey. Scouts have pointed to Rosario selectivity as part of the problem with his lack of hard contact, letting too many hittable pitches go by. It would not be the worst thing in the world to have Rosario go out for the first part of this season and not worry about walks. If it doesn work, you can scrap it, but it worth a shot.I rooting for Rosario to figure it out, because athletic on-base-oriented players are very much my jam. And at the very least, if the athleticism drop-off from last fall wasn as bad as it seemed at the time, he should have a role as a bench player. An athletic outfielder who can get on base and play a good center field will be able to carve out some sort of career. But he obviously looking for more, and so are the Red Sox. Unfortunately, the way that happens is if he hits for even a little semblance of power Ken Griffey Jersey, and that just something Rosario has never done.
