Rex Ryan is now switching gears to a new league because it has been six years since his last stint as an NFL head coach.
The forthcoming season of The Amazing Race will feature Ryan as a competitor, according to CBS. In Season 34, the current ESPN analyst will team up with Tim Mann, who according to Entertainment Weekly is a probation officer and Ryan’s golf buddy.
How Alek Thomas of the Diamondbacks may finish the year strong
The Arizona Diamondbacks’ outfielder Alek Thomas has had a hit-and-miss rookie campaign so far.
With a slash line of.326/.354/.609 after 48 plate appearances, the 22-year-old earned his major league debut. However, his slash line over the course of his subsequent 210 plate appearances was.225/.290/.335.
Additionally, he is finding grass more regularly now that August has arrived. He has a.257 average and a.298 on-base percentage in 74 plate appearances, which is 34 points higher than it was in the 210-plate appearance sample.
Let me try a layup right now. “That seventh shot attempt is definitely going to be a three-point shot when a three-point shooter starts out 0-for-6, more often than not.” Watch the ball enter,” “Mike Fitzgerald, the D-backs’ associate general manager, made this observation when appearing with Wolf & Luke on Arizona Sports. I think Alek has been dealing with it for the previous three days.
Prior to play on Wednesday, Thomas had two games where he recorded five hits, an RBI, and two runs scored. He has also reached base six times in nine plate appearances.
In Fitzgerald’s words: “It appears to have been a side effect of his attempts to simplify the game the last two evenings in particular.
Thomas doesn’t need his ability to appear.
His ISO was.283 in his first 48 plate appearances due to three home runs, but it has since decreased to just.103. With a.152 ISO, the league average for hitters, he fell from 131 points above to 49 points below it this season.
In Fitzgerald’s words: “[Thomas] desires a life of gap-to-gap. But when we have challenges and things don’t go as smoothly, I think that being able to simplify matters and say, “I tell you what. If I hit four line drives and really believe in my plan, I’m going to win today. I think he’s kind of gone back to it.
Thomas shines when he lifts the ball, so hitting line drives would be a success for him.
In 102 plate appearances that result in a fly ball or line drive, he is slashing.406/.402/.792 with a.386 ISO. All of these results are better than the league average.
He is in the top 100 out of 249 batters with a wRC+ of 227, which takes into account the run environment and uses 100 as the league average.
He only has a slash of.241/.241/.248 and a ground ball ISO of.007, though. Despite the fact that it is about the league average for grounders, he hits the ball on the ground 58.7% of the time, which is the highest rate among all MLB players with at least 300 plate appearances.
A ground ball rate above 50% is only achieved by 14 of the 217 batters with at least 300 at-bats and a wRC+ of 100.
The young outfielder has a.248/.301/.378 overall slash line. If he uses a line drive approach for the final 40 games, expect those numbers to dramatically rise.
