Rodríguez slightly off pace… After 30/30 seasons in 2023 and 2025, Julio Rodríguez (OF, SEA) has fallen off the power/speed pace a bit this year with 16 HR and 14 SB through 446 PA. His .255 BA would be a career low as well. What's going on?

We've seen a downtick in the skills too:

• Rodríguez's xPX has dropped every season since his rookie year. Combined with a now mediocre QBaB score and a tough home park, this level of raw power might only yield 20-25 HR...
