Dodgers News: Dave Roberts Believes Kiké Hernandez’s Struggles At Plate Stem From ‘Trying Too Hard’

After earning the starting second base job in Spring Training, Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Kiké Hernandez got off to a sizzling hot start to the season.

Since the calendar turned to May though, Hernandez has really struggled. In 30 games in March in April, he hit .258/.342/.505 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 26 strikeouts and 13 walks.

In 15 games in May though, that slashline has dropped all the way to .155/.219/.224 with one home run, five RBI, 20 strikeouts and only four walks.
