"His career line through 2023, which was .238 AVG/ .322 OBP/ .383 SLG with a 92 wRC+ and bad corner outfield defense was pretty uninspiring. Alex Anthopoulos was adamant he had in figured out and the changes were here to stay. well, he didn't have the whole following-the-rules thing figured out, but Profar has blossomed after 2023 with a .274/.375/.463 line with 137 wRC+ overall."
"He made great strides on borderline pitches. Made an batting stance adjustment to generate more power He's definitely getting great results. His line of .258/.362/.472 with 133 wRC+ (means he's 33% better than the average hitter on creating runs) is pretty close to his full season 2024 numbers. It's worth a look to see if he continuing his 2024 approach and the results he's getting from it."
Jurickson Profar entered 2024 after a mediocre career to 2023, then earned a three-year, $42 million contract following a breakout season. Plate-discipline changes include fewer swings at pitches outside the strike zone, more swings on in-zone pitches, reduced swings at away balls from the left side, and improved handling of borderline pitches. A batting stance adjustment increased his power. The 2024 partial and full-season numbers (.258/.362/.472 and .274/.375/.463 with 133 and 137 wRC+) show sustained offensive improvement, including a particularly strong August (.295/.428/.598, 183 wRC+). Defensive concerns remain from earlier corner-outfield performance.
