EDGE Analysis

Moya has been tearing the stitches out of the ball in Triple-A, leading the Mud Hens in just about every offensive category (.310 with 11 doubles, nine home runs, 24 RBI, a .627 slugging percentage and a .968 OPS). And he's lowered his strikeout rate from 32.4 per cent (2015) to below 25 this season. Upton has struggled to start the season and leads the league in strikeouts (53 in 131 at bats). Moya will need to make the most of his opportunity in order to stick in the majors.
