Struggling Bats

2nd baseman Cesar Hernandez had a poor week at the plate, hitting just .200 on the week with five strikeouts in 15 at bats.

Tommy Joseph continued to struggle at the plate this week, the rookie 1st baseman hitting for just a .125 average. Hopefully the young slugger is just in a rough stretch and will be able to make adjustments this week.

Maikel Franco‘s offensive woes continued, with the young 3rd baseman hitting just .095 on the week. Franco has really struggled to get it going offensively so far this year.

Let’s hope he can shake off the sophomore slump and get back to hitting the way he was during his rookie campaign.
