Matt Wieters, Washington Nationals

I wrote about Wieters’ 2017 offensive freefall a couple of weeks ago, and his numbers have slipped even more since. In 123 games, Wieters finished the season with career worsts in batting average (.225), on-base percentage (.288) and slugging (.344). His .632 OPS was the second-worst in the NL among players with 300 or more plate appearances, better only than Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza (.622). Wieters also threw out just 25% of attempted base stealers, his lowest mark since his rookie season of 2009 (not including his injury-shortened 2014). Still, Wieters doesn’t have much to complain about; his Nationals are headed to the postseason while the Orioles are going home for October.
