Hard to be objective on this one since he's my favorite player. I was susprised to see that his sprint speed (28.7 Ft/Sec) was in the 85th percentile last year, as the general impression is that he's slowed down. Also noteworthy that his home to first times (on baseball savant) were more like in the 50th percentile. Not sure how much of that is being right-handed and how much is that what he's lost is his FIRST step.
2018 stats: 682pa, 255/368/424, 20 HR, 14 SB, 83 R, 65 RBI. 13.9% BB rate and 21.3% K rate.
If you look at his splits, he hit 255/357/415 with 15 HR in 130 games for the Giants, and 253/421/471 with 5 HR in 25 games for the Yankees. Getting the hell out of AT&T Park clearly agreed with him.
Hard hit rate on Fangraphs was actually way up, fly ball % was down just a bit and HR/FB was down just a bit, but right in line with 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.
Average exit velo was 90 which is just about the 75th percentile. Max was "only" 110.9 which is a little lower than some comparable mashers, but not bad by any means.
Now he's in Philly and in a very nice park. Where he hits in the lineup will be very interesting. I think he'd be a good leadoff hitter, and that's what Roster Resource has right now, but I'm not sure Philly is leaning that way. Segura will definitely be either 1 or 2. Hitting 2nd would be pretty sweet for Cutch (Segura, Cutch, Harper/Machado, Hoskins, Realmuto) but if Philly doesn't add a big bat, he may end up hitting 3rd.
Steamer has him at 594pa 263/362/474 with 26 HR and 11 SB, with 78 R and 79 RBI. The counting stats are the interesting question because Cutch has been really durable and I can see scenarios where he scores 100 runs.
His ADP right now is around 143 which seems really low.
Outfielders (Draft Champions, 1/1 to present):
31 W Myers
32 Pollock
33 Gallo
34 Eloy
35 Brantley
36 Hicks
37 Ender
38 D Peralta
39 Cutch
40 Desmond
41 B.Ham
Eloy? Really? Clearly I'm way higher on Cutch than most people as I think I take him ahead of everyone from 31-38.
