Once a week, I'll be diving deep into some of MLB's best, worst and most interesting characters. I'll break down their past, current and projected performance to see if there's any betting value surrounding that player or his team.
Today, we're looking at the contact wunderkind, Luis Arraez.'
Player Background
Arraez always had a knack for contact. His 23.3 PA/K ratio for the GCL Twins in 2015 was the third-highest in the minors that season.
Nevertheless, the Venezuelan international free-agent signing got all the criticism you would expect. He's a 5-foot-10, 175-pound contact specialist in a swing-and-miss world, so his scouting reports were never overly optimistic.
