The Random Evil Player program selected Nick Delmonico for the next review. Delmonico knew what was at steak as an August call-up for the White Sox, and turned in a good two-month stretch. He hit an impressive .262/.373/.482 in 166 plate appearances, nine of his 37 hits going for home runs.
Delmonico had not shown much power outside of AA, although he always did a good job of getting on base. Since his MLB numbers were way ahead of his minor league numbers, I suspect he will be a good candidate for some regression in 2018. Still, even if he regresses to 90% of his minor league totals, he will be a useful player for the White Sox. The upside is that at seasonal age 24 in 2017 he figured out hitting, and he’ll continue to improve.
