It would be an exaggeration to say that Julio Borbon<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> swings at everything<\/em>. But so far this season, he’s hacked at most things. Borbon has swung at 50.9 percent of the pitches he’s seen<\/a> and 38.5 percent of pitches outside the strike zone. That gives him the 17th highest rate of bad-ball swings in the majors, according to the data at Fangraphs. <\/p>\n Borbon is, without question, the most disappointing player who I haven’t yet dropped. He’s batting .083 through nine games. His OPS is somehow just .191. To date, he’s managed to hit exactly one line-drive. ONE. In 38 plate appearances, he’s been credited with 13 flyballs, 13 groundballs, and one line drive. <\/p>\n In case you’re wondering what Borbon’s walk-rate is, it’s nothin’. It’s zero percent. The Rangers’ primary leadoff hitter has not yet drawn a walk. For that reason — and presumably many others — he isn’t likely to be their leadoff hitter<\/a> when he returns to the lineup at Boston on Tuesday. Instead, he’ll hit ninth. <\/p>\n
