Matt Carpenter might be heating up? - A Hunt and Peck

Matt Carpenter is a difficult hitter to describe. He is a good hitter, that we know, or at least we thought we knew. So far in 2019, Carp has not gotten off to the hottest start. In 166 plate appearances his wRC+ is at 91, which is pretty far off his career average of 131. Things seem to be trending positively for Carp, however, and that has me wondering:

Does Matt Carpenter heat up when the weather does?

I am not about to try to convince people that Matt Carpenter needs warm weather to play baseball. There are tons of factors that go into the performance of a baseball player.
