Lars Nootbar, A Star In The Making

 

Lars Nootbar is a star


Lars Nootbar's performances and moments in the World Baseball Classic could only be described as memorable and electric, but recently he has been under the radar. His batting average has suffered and is nowhere near the total bases compared to his 2023 season. But, even then, 2023 wasn't all that great for the popular baseballer from El Segundo, California. Defensively, he has been great, always impressive with eye-rolling plays. How did he do that?

 

Lars' best type of pitch to hit is undoubtedly the fastball, although he too can hit breaking pitches and off-speed pitches like the change-up. In 109 plate appearances, 93 at bats so far, he has 25 hits against the pitch, connecting for 16 singles, 5 doubles, 1 triple, and 3 home runs, striking out 18 times, batting .269 against the pitch while facing it 58.6% of the time. This means that the majority of the time, he's facing the fastball. But, that's not unusual since these days, there's so much emphasis on velocity on the fastball, and high value is placed on pitchers who can break the radar. 

 

There is room for improvement for this young man. After all, he's only 26 years old. He needs a breakout season though to solidify his place as a superstar. He's already a great defensive player. He just needs an offensive breakout season. It's satisfying even if he just hits .290, forty points above the MLB average of .250.

 

Nootbar, depending on how well his hamstring recovers, could be out for a day or two or weeks. It just depends. He's exciting and is one of the most underrated players in the league. He's already a great defensive player. He just needs to step it up a notch and become the hitter the Cardinals expect him to be.
