For the longest time, I thought Jonathan Schoop (59.3% owned - decrease of 8%) was pronounced like Salt N' Pepa's Shoop. It worked well when the home run numbers went from 15 in 2015...to 25 in 2016...and 32 in 2017. Jubilee from 1993. But then my world came crashing down when I discovered that it's actually pronounced like Scope the mouthwash. If you ever come to LA, go eat at King Taco and use the red sauce. Then pour yourself a cup of Scope. Swish it around. Gargle it. Welcome to my world. Then 2018 Schoop appeared with the .198/.242/.344 slash. The only reasons I care about Schoop are because he had an ADP of 60.6 and he's on my NFBC team, where I can't drop his ass! Since I'm here, I might as well take a deeper dive. The walk and strikeout rates are normal. The ISO of .146 is well below his career average of .183. The BABIP is only .221, so regression should be in the works. Unfortunately, the line drive rate is way down, ground ball rate is up, and hard hit percentage is at a career-low 24.1%. He's always had awful plate disciple, so those numbers remain terrible. The number that stands out to me, though, is the 4% barrel rate. Since 2015, Schoop had rates of 8.7, 6.7, and 7. I hate Schoop because he's been terrible and his name is pronounced Scope, but I do think he gets hot at some point. That's who he is as a player. He's going to get his timing back, which will result in more barrels. He's going to get more BABIP luck. He's going to hit home runs. Most of the projection systems have him down for 13 home runs the rest of the season. I hate that I had to write those past sentences, but I endured swishing Scope in my mouth after an evening of King Taco. TREASURE
