Latest News
| Nate McLouth settling in |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (5/15/13) As hot as Orioles outfielder Nate McLouth was in the month of April, he has been even colder since the calendar hit May. After going 0 for 4 Wednesday, McLouth is batting just .143 in 12 games this month.
McLouth emerged as a useful Fantasy option in April, but given his history, it always seemed like the bottom might fall out. McLouth was aided by a .373 batting average on balls in play in April, a number that is down to .146 in May.
His BABIP has leveled off at .287 for the season, which is actually an improvement over his career rate of .278. Rather than rely on an analysis based on his best or worst moments, we should begin to assess McLouth's season as a whole. Splitting the difference between his April and May performances seems like the way to go.
McLouth's season triple-slash line is .268/.359/.409, and that seems like a reasonable place for him to land, assuming the team continues to hide him against left-handed starters. That makes him a useful Fantasy option with his 11 stolen bases, but certainly not the high-end one he appeared to be during the season's first month.

| Among the collection of castoffs that brought the Orioles within a game of the ALCS last year, Nate McLouth stood out as the unlikeliest of contributors. Yeah, he had been an All-Star before, but that was way back in 2008. In the years since, he had struggled to maintain a .200 batting average. When he couldn't even hold down a reserve role for the Pirates last year, batting .140 with a .385 OPS in 57 at-bats before getting released on May 31, his career appeared to be over. But the Orioles picked him off the scrap heap a few days later, gave him some at-bats at Triple-A Norfolk and, when a need a rose in early August, plugged him into the starting lineup. It went about as expected for the first couple weeks, but from Aug. 19 to the end of the season, a span of 166 at-bats, McLouth hit .277 with a .353 on-base percentage, seven home runs and nine stolen bases. Those were the kinds of numbers he put up during that All-Star season. The 31-year-old's ability to sustain that pace over a full season is rightfully in question, but the Orioles are counting on him as their leadoff hitter. Because the opportunity is there for him, you wouldn't want to overlook McLouth in the late rounds. (Updated 1/9/13) |
