After a fantastic rookie year in 2021, Ryan Mountcastle's surface stats were down offensively this season. But if you look a little deeper into the numbers, you'll find that Mountcastle may have been even better for the Baltimore Orioles in 2022.

Host Connor Newcomb is joined by Paul Valle, the Co-Host of 'The Bat Around', to break down Mountcastle season and discuss:

-His top-notch hard-hit rate

-How Mountcastle was one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball this year

-His incredible defensive improvement at first base this season
