Washington Nationals: Michael Taylor slump concerning
After a great 2017 season, Washington Nationals center fielder Michael Taylor had high expectations this year. But so far, has failed to live up to them.
The whole Washington Nationals offense has been mired in a slump all year. One of those players suffering the most is Michael Taylor.
He broke out last season, when he hit .271 with 19 home runs and 17 stolen bases. But this season, he seems to have fallen back to earth in a big way.
He is currently hitting under the Mendoza line, at .193, but more importantly, the strikeouts are coming at an alarming rate.
