The bizarre brilliance of Derek Dietrich’s 2019 season

If conjuring up the name ‘Derek Dietrich’ feels as if you’re diving through the annals of history, you aren’t alone. Despite his brilliant start to the 2019 season - one that included a pinch-hit 3-run homer to rescue the Cincinnati Reds on Opening Day - Dietrich has largely faded to the nether-regions of the Reds bench, logging just 6 total PA in the month of September.

If you trace back all the way to July 15th, nearly 2 full months ago, Dietrich has a grand total of 2 hits to his name.
