Gallo went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo had two singles in the loss to extend his on-base streak to 21 consecutive games. He also extended another streak -- 19 games without an extra-base hit. Gallo, who has two 40-home run seasons on his resume, has just one over 21 games. Statcast reveals he's not barreling balls as often as in the past, but it hasn't led to chasing pitches. Gallo stays within the zone but continues to have a swing-and-miss component, not unusual for the slugger. The Rangers feel if he continues to be disciplined, the power will come, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. "If he cleans up the swing-and-miss and maintains the quality of swinging at strikes, he's going to be elite," manager Chris Woodward said.

Gallo went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo delivered a run using an unlikely method -- a bunt single. Facing a pronounced shift, something Gallo dislikes, the slugger pushed a bunt down the line where the third baseman would normally play. That plated Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who had tripled earlier in the inning, and made it a 3-2 game. The RBI was just Gallo's sixth of the season and second in the last 15 games. Opponents have been careful when pitching to Gallo when he can do damage. In 29 plate appearances with men on base, Gallo has walked 12 times (once intentionally) and been hit by pitches twice.

Gallo is not in the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo has yet to find his power stroke this season with only one home run through 15 games, though his 24.6 percent walk rate has helped lead to a .453 OBP. He'll receive the day off Sunday with southpaw John Means starting for Baltimore. Adolis Garcia will take over in right field Sunday for the Rangers.

Gallo went 1-for-2 with two walks, a home run, two RBI and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo has reached base eight times in 10 plate appearances, including five walks, over the first two games. He's knocked in four runs in the two games, but that was not nearly enough to make up for Texas pitching, which surrendered 25 runs in the first two games of the series against the Royals.

Gallo went 2-for-3 with three walks, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 14-10 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Three of the four times the slugging Gallo came up with men in scoring position, Kanas City pitchers walked him. If Nick Solak continues to hit behind him and doesn't take a big step forward with his production, opposing pitchers are not likely to change that behavior.

Gallo went 2-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's spring game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo clouted his sixth Cactus League homer and finishes the Arizona portion of spring training with a slash line of .333/.426/.897 along with 15 RBI. The slugger's weak batting average is notorious, but Gallo experimented with a new bat this spring that has worked out well for him.

Gallo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's spring game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo launched his fifth home run of the Cactus League. There's nothing surprising about Gallo going deep, but the rate of five long balls in six games is noteworthy. He told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that he's trying to get his launch angle back to a line-drive path. "I'm trying to get more on top of the ball now than I was. Last year, I got a little caught up and got under the ball and kind of maybe got into some bad habits that we kind of broke down throughout the offseason with the hitting coaches," said the slugger. Gallo is 6-for-14 -- with all six hits going for extra bases -- and nine RBI this spring.

Gallo went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Thursday's spring game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo has been near perfect to start the Cactus League. He's 4-for-6 with seven RBI over three games while homering in each contest. He posted a slash line of .181/.301/.378 in 226 plate appearances last season, so the start to spring training is encouraging. The 27-year-old slugger attributed that down year to the circumstances surrounding the shortened season, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. He missed the first week of summer camp after testing positive for COVID-19 and felt rushed getting into the season. "I think people underestimate how tough it was last year for us," Gallo said. "I just went out there and gave my best shot. I think this year, I'm a lot more loose, a lot more calm."

Gallo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's spring game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo homered in each of his first two Cactus League games. The slugger made offseason news when he switched to a bat that distributes weight more evenly throughout the entire surface area instead of a previous version that was top heavy. So far, so good with the new bat, although it is not expected to improve Gallo's notoriously high strikeout rates.

Gallo went to the Marucci bat lab over the offseason to get fitted for a new bat, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The tech war is in full force in MLB, with hitters searching for new ways to combat the gains pitchers are able to make in pitching labs such as Driveline Baseball. Gallo was told by Marucci that his bat was too top-heavy, so he'll be switching to a new one that distributes the weight more evenly. It's highly unlikely that Gallo's 37.6 percent career strikeout rate can suddenly be solved by a new bat, so there's little reason to alter our assessments of the slugger based on this news alone, but it's at least possible that the new equipment helps him reach a new level.
