Joey Gallo (31), dubbed “the epitome of blackmail,” will return to the National League after a year. Gallo will wear the Washington Nationals uniform.
The Major League’s official website MLB.com said on Monday (Korea time) that Washington has agreed to a one-year contract with Gallo, who is on the free agent market. His annual salary is 5 million U.S. dollars.
Gallo is a player widely known in the Major League as the epitome of a blackmailer. He only posted a batting average of 0.197. However, he has 198 home runs.
However, the batting average is very low, but it shows a high on-base percentage. Gallo’s overall on-base percentage is 0.323, which is more than 10% higher than the batting average.
Gallo had a batting average of 0.177 with 21 homers and 40 RBIs in 111 games for the Minnesota Twins last year, and an on-base percentage of 0.301 OPS 0.741. He struck out 142.
Washington has high expectations on Gallo’s ability to produce homers. Washington ranked 29th in the Major League and the lowest in the National League with 151 homers last year. 헤라카지노주소
Gallo is a batter who can expect more than 30 home runs when he meets the regular at-bats. He recorded 41 and 40 home runs in 2017 and 2018, respectively. He also had 38 home runs in the 2021 season.
The problem is that the accuracy of the batting is seriously bad, as is widely known. Gallo has struck out 1190 from 3143 at-bats in his career.z
