The Plopometer was created by Justin Upton in response to an ill-advised wager between him and Jarrod Parker during a rain delay in an exhibition against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who had then officially became the Yankees’ AAA affiliate.

Though the bet initially had to do with translating a troublesome passage from Proust’s "In Remembrance of Things Past" and assuaging mankind’s fear of the unknown, Upton thought it easier to create a machine that would do it for him. Using only what was available in the dugout at the time – a crazy eyeball from Max Scherzer, an old syringe with the initials "L. Gonzalez," and a Halloween mask of Randy Johnson – Upton created the Plopometer, named for Conor Jackson’s annoying fratboy routine of sitting on rookies’ faces while they weightlifted.

The Plopometer had a strong 2017, with a .390/.450/.725 line in the California League, with poverty cured in two nations, a respectable half-million acres of rainforest saved, and four major diseases eradicated. Though scouts praised its "messianic ways," I gave the Plopometer a B+ because I was still concerned about its demagoguery on the basepaths.

The Plopometer broke 2018 with the big-league club and was selected to play the entire infield, as well as bat 2, 3, 6, and 7 in the order. This led to disgruntlement in the clubhouse and an unfortunate incident the papers later called "Why Mark Reynolds’ Flesh was Seared Off." In the remaining days of the planet we called Earth, the Arizona front office would point to offseason parties at Jose Canseco’s house and tragic dates with Alyssa Milano as possible reasons for the Plopometer’s turn, but I think it was projectable if you look at the poor K/BB marks in the minors.
