With Taiwanese national hero 陳金鋒 retiring after 2016 season. Lamigo management has been letting the aging veteran start as designated hitter a lot more these day. With DH spot taken, 林泓育 has been sharing the catching role with 劉時豪 and 黃浩然 this season.
| Position | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 as C | 39 | 0.407 | 0.467 | 0.407 | 0.874 |
| 2016 as DH | 30 | 0.469 | 0.564 | 0.813 | 1.377 |
| Career | 2629 | 0.327 | 0.392 | 0.508 | 0.900 |
Is that a good move? From the limited stats so far. Lin seems to have a significant drop in his slugging percentage whenever starting as catcher.
