Why Isn't Christian Yelich Hitting for Power?

After a breakout campaign that included a career-high 21 home runs in 2016, Yelich's power numbers have regressed this season.

The Miami Marlins are fortunate to have a ton of talent in their outfield. With guys who can grab headlines like Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna, though, it's not always easy for Christian Yelich to get himself front and center. Despite that, he did a pretty good job of getting the attention of those outside of Miami in 2016.

While he hasn't yet been to an All-Star game, Yelich did finish 19th in National League MVP voting last season, ahead of his fellow Marlins outfielders.
