Can you remember when Jimmy Paredes was first in the AL in batting average? Yeah, it was a long time ago. In his last eight games, including an appearance as a pinch hitter, he has a .071 batting average.

If Paredes can find his bat again, the Orioles could benefit from the offense, but right now, he’s a weak point.

With the low average, he posted a .133 on-base percentage with 16 strikeouts. After he seemed to be giving a spark to the offense, he completely dropped off.

If he can find his bat again, the Orioles could benefit from the offense, but right now, he’s a weak point. He does not steal many bases, but he adds an important element of speed to the team.

He could be a crucial part of the team if they begin to force more pitches as a part of a small-ball approach. I hope that this losing streak has shown them they need to change their offensive approach.
