It’s been a rough second season for Matt Duffy. San Francisco Giants third baseman hasn’t hit for the average or power that displayed in 2015, as he appears to be struggling with that age-old tradition, the sophomore slump.
After batting .295 in his rookie season, his average is at .244 after his 2-hit game Monday night. It was down to .233 just a few days ago. And he only has 2 home runs and 11 RBI, while spending much of the season batting third. His OPS is an unsightly .629—133 points below last year’s mark.
