Rave was pretty subpar in nearly every hard-hit category (barrel, hard-hit, and average EV), and while he didn’t chase much, he put himself in way too many pitcher-friendly counts. A 42.4% swing rate and 58.9% Z-Swing% are way too low, especially for someone who doesn’t sport a ton of power. Pitchers challenged Rave a lot, and his passive approach didn’t produce results, sans that stretch after the All-Star Break.
I think there could be some potential with Rave to be a 4th outfielder, but I’m more than willing to give Massey a chance over Rave for now, mainly since Massey provides more versatility with the glove.
