Brandon Marsh’s April was nothing short of brutal. He did not record a hit in 29 at-bats in the month. Through his first 17 games of the season, he was batting .095. He then injured his hamstring, bringing it all to a halt for the outfielder.
Once he returned in May, Marsh rebounded. He batted .303 with an .836 OPS for the rest of the year. He settled into a more ideal situation after the trade deadline, as Harrison Bader’s arrival allowed Marsh to play left field and sit against left-handed pitchers. The lefty hitter excelled in his role.
