Schoop, who has been hitting No. 2 in the order against left-handers recently, is 16-for-39 (.410) with one home run and seven doubles when hitting at that slot this season.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles are platooning Hyun Soo Kim to start against right-handers, but when Kim sees the bench Schoop gets bumped up in the order. This almost always results in hitting behind Adam Jones and in front of Manny Machado, Mark Trumbo and Chris Davis. Schoop's success may be driven some by those around him, but he has actually been better against right-handers this season (.312/.340/.510 vs. RHP, .267/.304/.467 vs. LHP). Kim's numbers are even stronger against right-handers, so a full time move to No. 2 is not in the cards at this time.
