Dodgers utilityman Chris Taylor had an awful season in 2022, posting an 86 OPS+ after averaging a 113 over his previous five seasons. He also struck out 160 times in just 454 plate appearances, a 35.2% K rate that was significantly higher than the 27.6% he averaged in the five years since his famous swing change turned him into a good hitter.

Some of it was related to injury; Taylor missed most of July with a fractured foot, and he missed the last week of the season with a recurring neck issue.
