St. Louis Cardinals: Explaining Marcell Ozuna’s lack of production

St. Louis Cardinals‘ slugger, Marcell Ozuna, is not producing right now. He’s hitting .243 with only two home runs. His on-base percentage sits at .261, only walking three times in 119 plate appearances. He’s slugging .330. His OPS is .591. Brutal!

His OPS is 16th worst in all of baseball among qualified hitters. His wRC+, a comprehensive statistic that measures a hitter’s value based on each outcome, is at 66. The league average is 100, therefore he’s 34% under league average. His walk percentage is eighth worst in baseball at 2.5%.

I could keep going, but let’s stop there.
