softshoe Joined: 01/24/2015 Posts: 72 Inactive | Hi guys how much does the form very cold play into how bad of a hitting slump a player is having? How long does it usually take for hitters to get out of their hitting funk? My catcher has a .077 batting average at the moment, and should be a decent hitter and http://brokenbat.org/player/81837 any ideas ? | ||

If you're expecting more than numbers similar to 2020, it probably isn't going to happen. Moving up from VI to V should negate the slight improvements. Also, until he gets 200+ at bats, don't weigh in on them much at all. Heck, a full season really isn't a large sample size; 30 at bats mean absolutely nothing. |
