Gallo would have more strikeouts if he ever saw the field as much as Kyle. He also doesn’t walk or get on base as good as Kyle. Batting average also in Kyle favor. Gallo profile is way more extreme.

Schwarber took a turn once he left Chicago though and probably is the better comparison

Mune is a threat to break Reynold's K record though, which was why a team like the White Sox was able to get him. Looking good to break Alonso's rookie HR record too.

@Teak2112_MLBTS more like the next Kyle Schwarber tbh (which, wow, the current one’s still going)

Gallo swung at basically everything. Schwarbs and Mune really don’t chase all that much

They may not chase in the purest sense of the word and Schwarber draws his walks but both are in the top 10 Strikeouts, a category Schwarber has led in 2 of the last 4 years.

I completely understand your point—but let’s be real: this game is essentially being held together with duct tape right now. I don’t see how 99’s can make things much worse at this stage.

Hopefully, once mobile inevitably struggles, competing with Konami and the other established mobile MLB games, teams will return to full console support. Maybe by then, the executives who leaned too heavily on AI and deliberately shrank teams in favor of short-term cash-grab projects will be gone—and ’27 will actually turn out great.

Quicker they make the power creep quicker there game gets stale..

Probably a low good though.

@Jacob151167_XBL when he wins the homerun derby in July …

Well, I guess I'll see you guys in July then. Seriously, though, I'm going to have to go back to 25, and hopefully they can sort out the technical bugs this year, because this was absolutely insane. I had fun, but I've been fairly disappointed this year in every aspect of the game, really.
