still, it hasn't all been bad. i mean, his shoulder seems to be holding up quite well. (knock on wood.) and if his ankle issue is now in the past, i think we're going to see some vintage Brantley numbers coming in these last three months of the year. but before we get to that, let's recap what he's done through June.
this blog tallies Michael's 2017 regular season numbers and statistics from April 3 - June 30.
so far in 2017, Michael has 240 plate appearances and 216 at bats in 57 games (484.0 innings). in total, he has 66 hits, 20
extra base hits, 46 singles, 15 doubles, 5 home runs, 30 RBI, 1 sac fly, 25 runs, 22 walks, 1 intentional walk, 1 hit by pitch, 7 stolen bases (6 - 2nd, 1 - 3rd), 1 caught stealing (2nd), 4 GIDP, 37 strikeouts (32 swinging, 5 looking), 17 first at bat hits, 96 total bases, 77 left on base, 91 putouts, 5 assists, and 1 error.
2017 batting average through June: .306 (66-216)
OBP: .371
SLG: .444
OPS: .815
Batting Average Competition
Jose Ramirez's .321 batting average is currently the highest on the team out of all the qualifying players.
Michael's .306 batting average cannot be ranked among Indians qualifiers because Michael is not a qualifying player anymore. he missed 14 games in June and that, unfortunately, was too many to keep him as a qualifier right now. a player needs to have accumulated 3.1 plate appearances per game to be considered, and he has 3.08. he literally fell two plate appearances short at the conclusion of June. be that as it may, as long as Michael doesn't miss extensive time in July, he should become a qualifier again and stay one. and, if he continues to hit, i believe he could possibly regain the team batting title shortly as well, maybe even as soon as the All Star Break.
Team Leads and Career Highs
while he was out last month, Michael lost all the offensive team leads that he had, but there's plenty of time left in the season for him to try and get them back.
through June, Michael does not have any team leads offensively.
he leads the outfielders with 91 putouts, 484.0 innings, and 57 games. in addition, he's tied for 1st with 5 assists.
he is tied for 2nd with 7 stolen bases.
Michael does not have any career highs through June.
HR:RBI Ratio, LOB, K Rate, and Outs
Michael's home run total remains unchanged since April 30. after three months of the 2017 season, he has just five long balls. i have no explanation for this and i am discouraged by it.🙁 the team leader in home runs right now is Edwin Encarnacion with 17 while Francisco Lindor is 2nd with 14. Jose Ramirez (12) and Lonnie Chisenhall (10) are the only other Indians in double digits.
through June, Michael has a total of 30 RBI vs. 77 men left on base. in limited time last month, i think he did a decent job in both categories here--he drove in a nice amount of runners and didn't strand many. in these final three months of 2017, i'd like to see Michael get more RBI opportunities and come to bat with more men on base. Chisenhall actually leads the team in ribbies at this time with 43, if you can believe that.😲 he's mostly a platoon player and comes off the bench late in games frequently, so that is both surprising and impressive. Encarnacion is close behind Chiz with 42 and Carlos Santana is next with 41.
now let me calculate the new HR:RBI ratio. three of Michael's 5 home runs were solo and the other two were 2-run bombs. therefore, 10.0% of his 30 RBI have come from his solo homers, while 23.3% of his 30 RBI have come from all 5 of his home runs.
Michael's K rate so far in 2017 is 15.4% (37 K/240 PA). he currently averages 1 strikeout for every 6.5 plate appearances. that's a mere .5% increase from the end of last month, so i'm pleased about that. BUT, i am dissatisfied with his strikeout rate being that high. hopefully, he'll play full months going forward and that rate will decrease with more plate appearances.
through June, Michael has 62 groundouts, 29 flyouts, 14 lineouts, and 9 pop outs versus 37 strikeouts. while i may get irked when he strikes out, he does get the barrel to the ball more often than not. still, i don't like the total number of grounders he's amassed. the more balls he hits in the air, the better because they could easily fall in and/or leave the ballpark. even knowing that Michael has always attained the majority of his outs via ground balls, i think the difference here is too much.
Reached Base vs. Left Stranded
thus far, Michael has reached base a total of 93 times in 2017 via hits, walks, hit by pitches, fielder's choices, throwing errors, and fielding errors. he's scored 25 runs total, 5 of which came from his own home runs. he's been driven in 20 times by other players and left stranded 67 times. (once he was lifted for a PR, so i didn't count that here.) okay, something's gotta give. i'm not sure what it's going to take to get the guys batting behind Michael--Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Ramirez--to consistently hit when Michael's on base so he can score, but this needs to start being rectified immediately.
Streaks & Situational Statistics
Michael hit in 45 of the 57 games he's played in so far in 2017 and reached base safely in 49 games. he has 12 hitless games, but still reached base in 4 of those. Michael has 19 multi-hit games, 2 three+ hit games, and 7 multi-RBI games. he has at least 1 RBI in 22 games. in addition, he has 4 go-ahead hits and 5 go-ahead RBI. the Indians are now 31-26 in games that Michael's played in and 11-10 in the games he's sat out/missed.
Michael's had various noteworthy streaks to this point in 2017, including:
--a modest 6-game hitting streak on the road between April 8-22. it began on April 8, then continued from April 17-22.
--a 10-game hitting streak, in which he bat .381 (16-for-42), between April 13-27 (over 15 days).

Michael is currently batting .314 (43-for-137) against right-handed pitchers and .291 (23-for-79) against left-handed pitchers. his performance against southpaws was a lot better in June than a month ago and so his average is starting to creep back up to where it should be. of course, there's more room for improvement and i suspect we'll see that in the second half of the year.
Michael's hitting .328 (40-for-122) with 21 RBI at home. he has 10 doubles and 3 home runs (13 extra base hits) at Progressive Field, along with 1 sac fly, 15 runs, 13 walks (1 intentional), 3 stolen bases (2 - 2nd, 1 - 3rd), 4 GIDP, 21 strikeouts (18 swinging, 3 looking), and 59 total bases while playing 32 out of 39 total home games. he hit safely in 27 of the 32 home games he's played in and safely reached base in 29 of them. he has 5 hitless games at home, reaching base in 2.
Michael's hitting .277 (26-for-94) with 9 RBI away from Progressive Field. he did not play many games on the road in June and sadly struggled once again when he did. he has 5 doubles and 2 home runs (7 extra base hits) on the road, along with 10 runs, 9 walks, 1 hit by pitch, 4 stolen bases (2nd), 1 caught stealing (2nd), 16 strikeouts (14 swinging, 2 looking), and 37 total bases while playing 25 out of 39 total road games. he hit safely in 18 of the 25 road games he's played in and safely reached base in 20 of them. he has 7 hitless games away from home, reaching base in 2.
Michael's now batting .291 (16-for-55) with runners in scoring position with 24 RBI through June. breaking it down, he's batting .333 (5-for-15) with RISP and 0 outs, .316 (6-for-19) with RISP and 1 out, and .238 (5-for-21) with RISP and 2 outs. he had an excellent June with RISP, but his average in those 2-out situations still leaves a lot to be desired.
with 2 outs in an inning, Michael is presently batting .274 (23-for-84). he now has 7 doubles, 1 home run, 7 RBI, 11 walks, and 14 strikeouts (13 swinging, 1 looking).
additionally, he's hitting .319 (30-for-94) with 27 RBI with runners on base and 1.000 (1-for-1) with 3 RBI with the bases loaded so far this season. he's also drawn 2 RBI walks with the ducks on the pond through June.
lastly, Michael's hitting .295 (36-for-122) with the bases empty right now. he has 7 doubles, 3 home runs, 3 RBI, 8 walks, and 23 strikeouts (21 swinging, 2 looking).
through the first three months of the season, Michael has a 1.1 fWAR (wins above replacement), a 118 wRC+ (weighted runs created plus--the ability to create runs compared to the league average), a 3.5 BsR (baserunning runs above average with stolen bases and caught stealings), and -3.7 UZR (ultimate zone rating). none of these stats currently rank among the 12 qualifying American League left fielders because Michael is not a qualifier at this time.

League Rankings
because Michael is not currently a qualifying player, i cannot compare his batting average to other qualifiers (as explained above), nor can i compare his OBP, SLG, OPS, or strikeouts. despite that, Michael does have a few stats that rank in the Top 10 among left fielders and other players in the American League and MLB.

All Star Voting Results
when the first AL All Star voting results were posted on May 31, Michael debuted in 4th place. now here are all the rest of the weekly ASG voting updates as they occurred in June:
the second set of American League All Star ballot results came out on Tuesday, June 6 and showed that Michael received 220,917 votes in the past week, which moved him into the 3rd OF spot (up from 4th the previous week), his highest rank ever! he had a 35,474-vote lead over 4th place Mookie Betts (of the Boston Red Sox) and trailed 2nd place Mike Trout (of the Los Angeles Angels) by 600,736 votes. Aaron Judge (of the New York Yankees) had taken over the top OF spot.
when the third results of the AL All Star voting were released on Tuesday, June 13, Michael had dropped to 4th place (down from 3rd). while gaining 221,867 votes in one week, he trailed the new 3rd OF starter, George Springer (of the Houston Astros) by 28,339 votes. on the contrary, Michael had a nice 62,302-vote lead over Betts, who was still behind Michael (in 5th place). Springer made an incredible jump into the Top 3, as he'd been in 7th place in the previous week's results. Judge and Trout were steady at #1 and #2, respectively.
the fourth wave of AL All Star ballot updates was posted online on Tuesday, June 20. after acquiring 224,767 votes over a week, Michael was still in 4th place. Springer stayed in the 3rd spot and had a 175,697-vote lead over Michael. Avisail Garcia (of the Chicago White Sox) moved up into the 5th spot from 6th place previously, and he trailed Michael by only 30,260 votes. with these results also came the note that the final voting update would be made public on Monday, June 26.
considering Michael had just missed several games while on the Paternity List and was on the 10-Day DL at this time, i figured most people outside of Cleveland fans would not be voting for him any further because he wouldn't be adding to his stats. it really wasn't the best time for a baby and an ankle sprain.😕
so when the fifth set of AL All Star voting results was revealed (on June 26), i was delighted. Michael remained in 4th place, but he had received 324,219 votes over the past week without even playing! that was the biggest increase he'd seen since the weekly results began. conversely, Michael was now 293,912 votes behind 3rd place Springer and held a tiny 32,779-vote lead over Garcia in 5th place. Judge and Trout still held commanding leads in the top 2 spots.

as i mentioned last month, Trout is on the disabled list after having surgery for a torn UCL in his left thumb. he's now starting to work his way back and there is a chance he'll be ready and cleared to participate in the All Star Game. should he be unable to play, then the highest vote-getter on the player ballot who's not already starting will take his place. to my dismay, the starting spot will not go to the 4th highest vote-getter from the fan ballot, which at this time is Michael. ain't that some 💩?
the final All Star team rosters will be unveiled on Sunday, July 2 in an ESPN All Star Selection show at 7 pm ET.
good luck, Michael! if you're not named as a starter, i hope you're at least chosen to be a reserve!
oh and i'm also happy to report that there was no trickery with the voting process this year. i was able to vote with multiple email addresses in the same web browser every day without any issues, unlike in 2016, which made it easier to vote with more emails daily. however, the pop up notification reading "congratulations! you have voted 35 times from this email address" was never implemented after casting your final 5 votes with an email address. i'd like to see that brought back for 2018 because that was a nice and quick reassurance that you had maxed out your allotted votes per email.✔
In The Field & League Rankings
after three months of play, Michael has 91 putouts, 5 assists, and 1 error in 97 total chances. he currently has a .990 fielding percentage.
prior to the error he committed on June 10, Michael had accumulated 80 consecutive errorless games in the outfield. now, after missing almost half of the games in June, he only has a 6-game errorless streak. his miscue will make it very difficult for him to break his 2014 club record of 247 consecutive games without an error before he becomes a free agent after 2018.😢
now here are the updated league rankings of Michael's outfield assists through June:
among AL left fielders, Michael's 5 assists in 2017 rank tied for 5th with Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals. Melky Cabrera of the Chicago White Sox has the most assists right now with 7. Norichika Aoki of the Houston Astros, Andrew Benintendi of the Boston Red Sox, and Justin Upton of the Detroit Tigers are all tied for 2nd with their 6 assists.
among all MLB left fielders, Michael's 5 assists rank tied for 6th (with 3 other players). Marcell Ozuna of the Miami Marlins also has 5, as does Tommy Pham of the St. Louis Cardinals.
among all AL outfielders, Michael's 5 assists rank tied for 7th (with 5 other players, including his Indians teammate, Bradley Zimmer).
among all MLB outfielders, Michael's 5 assists rank tied for 13th (with 6 other players).
the current MLB OF assist leaders are Melky Cabrera, Leury Garcia of the White Sox, and Billy Hamilton of the Cincinnati Reds with 7.
