Ozuna in 2014, slugged 23 HR, 54 XBH and compiled an ISO of .188 all on the basis of what was a high strikeout rate and a low walk rate. Ozuna was making good contact and it showed in the form of his results.
So far in 2015 Ozuna hasn’t had nearly as good a year and its resulted in him getting sent down to AAA to work on his issues. Halfway through this year Ozuna has only hit 4 homers and has only 18 XBH to his name, all on a .088 ISO and a .337 slugging percentage.
