Teixeira Mashing

Written by Josh W. | 09 August 2010

We all know about Tex's season this year. The usual slow start, though this time longer than in the past. He has returned to form the past couple of months (August and July especially), and for the most part has absolved any premature worries that may have arisen during his anual early season slump. In March/April, he hit to a paltry 65 wRC+, but hit a stunning 112% above league average in July. He hasn't stopped yet; thanks to a power surge, Tex is 73% above average in August. Today I would like to discuss his power, which has been a huge contribution to his elevated play.

The blue is Teixeira's iso as the year has progressed, compared to the league average, green.
