If you have been following our reviews for the players that made up the 2018 Baltimore Orioles, you have noticed a trend: below average performances and injuries. It is the latter that derailed Mark Trumbo’s season. This is especially disappointing because he looked better at the plate when he was on the field than he did in 2017.
Trumbo entered the 2018 campaign as the second year of his three year, $37.5M contract that he signed prior to the 2017 season. He was expected to rebound from a poor 2017 (.234/.289/.397 with 23 homers) and be the middle of the order power bat he was in 2016.
