Oakland A's OF/DH has been one of MLB's best hitters in May.
When the Oakland A's released their renderings for the proposed ballpark in Las Vegas in March, there were a number of batting averages listed on the gigantic green screen that hung over the board. Most of them were fairly optimistic, and as Foolish Baseball noted on Twitter, Brent Rooker's .303 average really stood out.
Heading into Monday's off day, Rooker is 24-for-67 with six homers, 19 RBI, a .419 OBP, and his OPS sits at 1.106 for the month. He spent about a week on the IL in April which is keeping him off the MLB leaderboards, but if you set the minimum required plate appearances to 140 on the season, then Rook ranks as the 12th-best hitter in baseball with a 163 wRC+. He's also tied for 12th in homers with ten, and 20th in RBI with 29.
"I feel better. I think I'm a better hitter now than I was at that point. I think I'm more familiar with myself and what I do well and what I need to do to have sustained success than I was last year."
