Hunter Dozier has received a lot of criticism about his underwhelming performance for the KC Royals this season. He’s hit below .200 for the greater part of the year. The four-year, $25 million contract extension he signed before the season perhaps added to the negative critique, with some probably believing his poor hitting proved the deal was a mistake.
But could it be Dozier is beginning to improve?
He went 1-for-2 Aug. 9 to hit the .200 mark for the first time this season, then exceeded it by going 1-for-4 the next day.
