what is the phillies record since hoskins arrived?
The Indians are doing some crazy things right now. They've only trailed in 4 of the 189 innings during their streak.
139-35 run differential during the streak!
Hoskins is doing something that can't be duplicated. However there is a lot he's doing that is sustainable,
His walk to K ration is 26:28. He can definitely keep that up.
He sees a ton of pitches, that will stay.
Basically he's punishing the ball. Who knows if he can consistently hit 30-40 bombs, the guy has a really great swing, his timing is outstanding and he doesn't chase bad pitches. That equation usually equals to hitting extra base hits, his are just going out of the park right now.
He's an extreme fly ball hitter in one of the friendliest HR parks for RH hitters. Unless there is a dramatic change in the balls the other way, I don't know how he doesn't hit 30+ over a full season.
Btw remember that conversation a few weeks ago about not have a future 3 hole hitter...I think we found one.
