Before the LA Angels season even started, Justin Upton was injured in the preseason. Turf toe (freaking turf toe), kept him sidelined until June, when he finally made his 2019 season debut.
Upon his return, Upton struggled in the outfield. That’s nothing new for Upton, but what was unforeseen was the difficulty he had at the plate as the season went on. Just watching the games, Upton’s frustrations soon became more and more obvious. He just couldn’t seem to get it right at the plate.
Then, as the season was winding down, it seemed as if Upton was starting to find his stroke.
