Fowler shows a patient eye, walking in nearly 12% of his plate appearances, something not very common for a young player. He also makes a lot of hard contact and was tied for the 12th highest LD% in all of baseball at 21.6%. Fowler also saw sligth improvements in K% and ISO from 2009 to 2010.
After a horrendous May, Fowler was demoted to AAA where he hit .340/.435/.566 and returned to the Majors in July. From July to the end of the year Fowler hit .288/.369/.466 with 15 doubles, 11 triples, 5 homers, and 7 steals in 328 plate appearances, or almost exactly half of a season. Do I think he can post those numbers over an entire season? I actually do, but I have to be a bit more realistic than that. We would all love to project player’s futures based on 2nd half production. If that were the case...
