Off-the-field issues aside, Marcell Ozuna has been a disappointment for the Atlanta Braves statistically since his monster 2020 season.
Ozuna was in the top one percent of MLB in xwOBA in 2020, and top ten percent in 2019. During that span, he had a slash line of .272/.362/.525. He had a 110 wRC+ in 2019, and 178 wRC+ in 2020. This stretch is arguably the best of his career.
Since then, his offensive numbers have dropped off substantially. Ozuna’s slash has been .222/.278/.397 with a wRC+ peaking at 88 in 2022.
