Joey Votto is one of the best hitters in the history of the Cincinnati Reds. He’s won an MVP, he should have won another one, and he’s led the league in OPS twice in his career. He’s hit .304/.419/.517 in his career, but in the last three seasons he’s been on a decline. While still above-average, hit .265/.382/.420 line hasn’t compared to what he had been earlier in his career. That’s to be expected as a player enters their mid-30’s. But for Votto, he began to adjust last year around the mid-point of the season after he sat for three games and not only did he look like a different hitter from a mechanics standpoint, his numbers were different, too.
