Zack Gelof - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact Gelof entered Sunday's game with just five hits in 32 at-bats over his first nine games but finished just a double shy of the cycle while collecting his first home run and first four RBI of the young season. The home run was a three-run shot in the second inning that opened a five-run lead for the A's as they cruised to a victory. The 2021 second rounder showed well last year in his first season in Oakland with a .267 average to go along with 14 homers and 14 steals over 300 plate appearances. With a full season ahead of him, a 20/20 season is well within the possible range of outcomes for the talented second baseman.

Sparks offense Saturday Gelof went 0-for-1 with three walks, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.

Impact It was an impressive display of patience from the 24-year-old second baseman, who managed an 8.7 percent walk rate as a rookie in 2023 but routinely posted marks in double digits in the minors. Gelof has struggled so far this season when he's had to swing the bat however, going 5-for-32 (.156) with 13 strikeouts to balance out his five free passes, while chipping in two doubles, two steals and five runs.

Productive day in loss Gelof went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

Impact The Athletics lost for the third time in as many games to open the season, but Gelof broke out of a season-opening 0-for-7 skid with his multi-hit effort. The 24-year-old more than held his own over his first 300 plate appearances against major-league arms last season, and his power-speed combination, combined with what he gleaned from that experience, could well lead to a breakout 2024.

Homers in three-hit game Gelof went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, three total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Gelof popped a solo shot in the first inning and then contributed RBI singles in the eighth and ninth to help the Athletics pull off a comeback win. The second baseman had gone just 5-for-29 over his previous eight games before Saturday's three-hit effort. He's up to 14 homers, 32 RBI, 40 runs scored, 14 stolen bases and a .272/.342/.513 slash line over 68 contests this season.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in Wednesday's loss Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact He took George Kirby deep in the fourth inning to get Oakland on the board, but Gelof's squad was already down 2-0 at that point. The rookie second baseman is batting .310 (22-for-71) in September as he puts the finishing touches on an impressive MLB debut that has seen him rack up 13 homers and 13 steals in just 59 games.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns 12th steal Gelof went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-0 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Gelof has continued to hit well in September, going 18-for-63 (.286) with two home runs and three steals over 16 contests this month. The second baseman has picked up two of those steals over his last four games. He's up to a .269/.339/.520 slash line with 12 homers, 12 thefts, 26 RBI and 34 runs scored through 57 games this season.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Registers 11th steal Gelof went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Padres.

Impact Gelof recorded his first game this month with just one hit -- he had seven multi-hit efforts and five hitless games to begin September. His power has taken a dip this month with six doubles and one home run over 13 contests, and this was his second steal in that span. Gelof is at a .268/.335/.516 slash line with 11 homers, 11 steals, 25 RBI and 33 runs scored through 54 games this season.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to shine Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Rangers.

Impact Gelof was responsible for all of Oakland's run output in the contest, drilling a game-tying two-run shot in the seventh inning. He finished with multiple hits for the sixth time in his past eight games, a span during which he's batting 12-for-34 (.353) with four RBI and five runs scored. The only thing that had been missing of late was the long ball -- prior to Saturday's homer, Gelof hadn't gone deep since Aug. 24, a stretch of 13 contests.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches double-digit steal mark Gelof went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays on Monday.

Impact Gelof's third multi-hit effort in the last four games included his 10th stolen base in the first 11 attempts of his career. The rookie's pair of knocks Monday were both singles, but Gelof has impressively laced more than half (25) of his 48 hits thus far for extra bases, making him an extremely well-rounded fantasy contributor right from the onset of his career.

On base thrice in win Gelof went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Angels on Sunday.

Impact Gelof played some small ball Sunday and teed up a couple of teammates for RBI with his pair of singles. The rookie recently went through a brief 1-for-18 funk over a five-game span, but he's bounced back with a pair of two-hit tallies in his last three contests and carries an impressive .266/.330/.532 slash line across his first 191 big-league plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Multi-RBI effort in win Gelof went 2-for-5 with a two-run double, another two-bagger and a run in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Impact Gelof's fourth-inning two-bagger knocked in Esteury Ruiz and Jonah Bride to cap off a five-run outburst. The rookie pushed his RBI total to an impressive 23 with the timely two-bagger and snapped a rare 1-for-18 slump that had encompassed his last five games as well. Gelof has demonstrated a welcome knack for clutch hitting early in his career, posting a .905 OPS across his first 43 plate appearances with men in scoring position.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs steal in loss Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Gelof's bat has cooled off a bit lately -- he's gone eight games without a multi-hit effort. He's added just two steals while batting .156 (5-for-32) in that span. For the season, the second baseman has a .276/.343/.566 slash line with nine steals, 10 home runs, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored over 39 contests.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues solid rookie campaign Gelof went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the White Sox in an 8-5 win Thursday.

Impact Gelof's seventh-inning two-run shot was a big one, as it broke what had been a 5-5 tie. It was the rookie's 10th long ball in just his 35th major-league game -- no other player in Athletics history has achieved that feat, per the team's PR department. Gelof has added 24 runs, 11 doubles, 19 RBI, eight thefts and a .294/.360/.610 slash line while providing considerable excitement for what has otherwise been a dismal season in Oakland.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up eighth steal Gelof went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Gelof continues to do it all for the Athletics. He's gone 23-for-59 (.390) with four home runs and three steals over his last 15 games. The second baseman is up to eight thefts, nine homers, 17 RBI, 23 runs scored and a steady .305/.373/.617 slash line through 33 contests this season, cementing himself firmly as a starter and the No. 2 hitter in the lineup.

Belts ninth homer Gelof went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 6-4 win against Kansas City on Monday.

Impact Gelof gave Oakland a 2-1 lead in the third inning with his 428-foot solo shot to center field. The rookie has gone deep nine times in his first 32 MLB games, outdoing the pace he set by hitting 12 long balls over 69 contests with Triple-A Las Vegas prior to getting called up. Gelof has been red-hot of late, batting .441 (15-for-34) with three homers, three doubles, six RBI and a stolen base over his past eight games.
