Are we undervaluing pure power production in today's lineup structures?

    I was looking at some of the underlying metrics for sluggers across the league recently, and it feels like the front office obsession with raw exit velocity is starting to create some very unbalanced lineups. Everyone wants guys who can mash the ball 450 feet, but half these teams look completely lost with runners in scoring position.

    The shift ban helped a bit last year, but we are still seeing teams tolerate guys who strike out at a 30% clip just because they barrel the ball well when they actually make contact. You do have a few glaring exceptions standing out right now. You look at the production from someone like Brent Rooker, who manages to put up serious numbers even when opposing pitchers know exactly how to work around him.

    (It's actually kind of funny how physical memorabilia markets react to these individual performances—tracking down something specific like a Brent Rooker jersey has become a niche focus for certain physical archive collectors this year).

    I still think we are going to see a market correction in the next few offseasons where high-contact, low-chase guys start getting paid a massive premium again. The boom-or-bust approach gets you through July, but does anyone actually think it is sustainable for a deep October run against elite bullpen arms?
