Cardinals rookie outfielder Alec Burleson accepted the challenge to take more pride in his defense, to approach his pregame work during batting practice with a heightened intensity and to get himself ready to make impactful plays in the field.

Burleson also enjoyed a three-hit game at the plate, including his sixth home run of the season. “To Burleson's credit, him and Willie have been out there, gosh, every day during batting practice, early work, getting their work in, getting reads in the corners,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said of Burleson.

| 6/04/23 | A Deep Dive Into Alec Burleson's Struggles. Alec Burleson should be a good hitter. He has a 74th percentile exit velocity (90.7 mph average exit velocity) and he has a 94th percentile whiff rate (15.5%). To put it another way - he hits the ball hard and he makes a ton of contact. That's a great combination. But, to make things even better, Burleson also hits a lot of balls in the air as his 39% ground ball rate is more than 3% below the league average and he also has an above average fly ball pull rate (25.5%). So, to sum it all up, we're looking at a hitter who hits everything, hits the ball hard, hits the ball in the air, and pulls his fly balls. That's pretty much ideal. Yet he has an 85 wRC+, meaning he's been a 15% below league average Source: https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2023/6/4/23748114/a-d... |
