Wong in lineup vs Righties is key
We are very good team against lefties. Especially now with Romy back. Our weakness is unfortunately right handed pitchers which still make up vast majority of mlb starters except our team with 3/5 lefties. Sandoval is another.
Our offense's biggest problem is not what side of the plate thry hit but how they do against left handers and right handers. We seem to do well vs left handers but struggle vs right:
Hitters vs Righties:
Contreras .901 OPS
Seigler .899 OPS
Wong .830 OPS
Gonzalez .718 OPS (2025)
Rafaela .715 OPS
Wilyer Abreu .687 OPS
Caleb Durbin .683 OPS
Jarren Duran .608 OPS
Monasterio .482 OPS
Cheng .464 OPS
Narvaez .488 OPS
Sidelined:
Nick Sogard. .851 OPS vs RHP
Isiah K-Falefa. .804 OPS vs RHP
Trevor Story (25) .743 OPS vs RHP
Roman Ant. (25) .903 OPS vs RHP
Duran's 25 seas. .852 OPS vs RHP
Wong is .342 OPS higher vs right handers then Narvaez is.
It is important for Romy to be in the lineup vs right handers too as he has 5th best ops if going by ladt year's numbers as 2026 has just started for him.
Getting IKF, Sogard or Story back will be a signifcant boost in OPS at shortstop.
Sogard is highest bump in OPS from Monasterio vs righties, .369 ops increase. While Story had the lowest OPS of the three sidelined shortstops, he is the only one with significant power with 25 home runs last year. In IKF's best home run year, he has obly hit 8 home runs in a year and Nick Sogard has never hit an mlb regular season home run.
Best shot at increasing left field OPS is a healthy Roman Anthony but Jarren's 2025 was an .850 OPS compared to his .608 OPS this year.
