In my quest to see if Casas is pushing AL Player of the Month status, I just noticed that the 6th-10th best players in baseball for July by batting average (min PA 50) are Duran, Devers, Yoshida, Wong, and Casas with Turner 13th. By wRC+ Casas is 3rd behind Contreras and Julian so it's possible with a strong weekend he nabs POTM. 0.365/0.476/0.808/1.284 with a 239 wRC+. To this fine information might I add: with only 18 more hits in a row Tristan Casas will improve his batting average to .300 on the year and place himself in serious contention for Rookie of the Year and the batting title. 17

Somehow I just knew this Casas guy was really good. I never had a doubt even with the early struggles. Just has such a good understanding of the strike zone which you can't teach and he's the size of a small horse so he's got power.

Casas jumping over Duvall and JT and is now tied with Devers for 3rd best OPS on the team behind Masa and Duran (873, 863, 858).

Just has such a good understanding of the strike zone which you can't teach and he's the size of a small horse so he's got power. You nailed it there. If a prospect or even a veteran is dominating the strike zone it's a matter of time before they start mashing. It's pretty simple although a big portion of the fan base seems to struggle to grasp that.

The only thing this lineup is missing is a RHH masher who can bat between rafi and Casas.

I remember when posters here were worried about the Casas' lack of dingers in the minor leagues despite the fact that he was constantly posting a .200+ ISO at every level while being challenged age wise. Good times 😁
