Maikel Franco was once ranked the top prospect in the Phillies organization and 17th in all of baseball, but he has struggled in his 2017 campaign so far. He’s slashing .216/.273/.352, placing him in the bottom ten in batting average of any qualified National League hitter and raising questions regarding a trip back to Lehigh Valley. A basic overview of his stats would be frightening, but delve a little deeper and there’s hope. A negative WAR (-0.4) and negative WPA (-0.71) aren’t pleasing, but keep in mind they’re strictly evaluations of past performance to date and have no prediction value for future performance. There’s no way to say for sure if Franco will return to his productive form, but there’s definitely plenty of evidence to believe his .216 batting average is more so a fluke than any of his previous seasons.
