As a team, the Washington Nationals did have success in 2016. However, one player who struggled mightily this past season was outfielder Michael Taylor. Taylor went into the season as the fourth outfielder, but got a chance to start after Ben Revere hurt his oblique in the season opener. But, Taylor did not take advantage of that opportunity.
In 76 games this past season, Taylor had a slash line of .231/.278/.376 with seven home runs and 16 RBI’s. He did have 14 stolen bases in 17 attempts, which was two steals off of his 2015 total (16 stolen bases).
