Adell made an outstanding catch on Sunday, but his overall defensive metrics show that he hasn’t improved from last year. At the plate, he’s also been slightly worse, although with some encouraging…
Adell has been one of the most polarizing players in the Angels’ system in years, because he shows such electric tools at times but also shows so many holes as he struggles to mold his talent into performance.
“I’ve had to adapt a lot throughout the season so far,” Adell said, “but I feel good about my process. Just keep working.” By Outs Above Average, Adell was in the 34th percentile last season, and this year he’s in the 28th percentile. Adell’s defensive issues could likely be ignored if he hit to his potential, but so far he hasn’t done that either. He was hitting .239 with a .639 OPS, both slightly down from his .246 and .703 marks in 2021.There are some encouraging numbers, though.
