\n
The Braves announced that they have signed outfielder Jordan Luplow<\/strong>. It’s a one-year contract worth $1.4MM.<\/p>\n
Luplow, 29, has appeared in the past six MLB seasons, spending time with Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Tampa and Arizona. He’s occasionally served as a valuable part-time player but his production has been fairly inconsistent.<\/p>\n
He got brief showings at the major league level with the Pirates in 2017 and 2018, but got his most extended stretch of playing time with Cleveland in 2019. His 85 games in that season are still a career high, and he hit a tremendous .276 \/.372\/.551. That production was 41% above league average, as evidenced by his 141 wRC +. However, the vast majority of that damage came against lefties, as the right-handed hitting Luplow slashed .320\/.439\/.742 with the platoon advantage and just .216\/.274\/.299 without it. That led to extremely lopsided production: a 205 wRC+ against southpaws but just 52 against righties.<\/p>\n
