Put this one in the "I want to believe" files. Can Votto rebound?
The Reds' lineup will certainly be better, if nothing else.
2019: 608 PA, 261/357/411, 15 HR, 47 RBI, 79 R, 5 SB. A .313 BABIP. 12.5% BB, 20.2% K (walk rate down 5%, K rate up 4%)
His hard hit rate was in the 42nd percentile and his exit velo was in the 44th percentile, so if he's going to rebound, he's got a long way to go.
THE BAT projection: 653pa, .266-16-70-83r-4sb
ATC projection: 614pa, .271-18-64-81r-4sb
Steamer projection: 670pa, .270-23-76-91r-4sb
As spring training neared, Votto did something he hasn’t done throughout his 13-year Major League career. He showed up more than a week early to camp, arriving in Arizona on Feb. 5, after canceling a planned vacation.
“I’m excited about the challenge this year,” Votto said. “I don’t think I’ve felt that in a long time.”
