Struggling as a rookie can be a great learning experience and it looks like Caglianone put last year\u2019s failures to good use. After Tuesday\u2019s two-homer game, he\u2019s hitting a robust .277\/.349\/.498 with 14 home runs this season. Caglianone has eight home runs in his last 14 games after hitting six homers in the previous 60 games…<\/p>\n
The 10- to 30-degree launch angle range is ideal. Those are line drives and the kind of fly balls that go over the fence, not hang up long enough for an outfielder to catch. Caglianone was above the league average in April and May, but he\u2019s really kicked it up a notch in June. Those six homers in the last 13 games are no fluke. He\u2019s hitting more balls in the ideal launch angle range.<\/p>\n
Also, Caglianone has gone from missing with one-third of his swings in April and May to only one-quarter of his swings in June, which is an enormous improvement. That\u2019s the difference between one of the highest whiff rates in baseball and league average. There\u2019s nothing sexy about league average, but when you have this much power, a league average contact rate is a big win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
