Despite the recent series against the Detroit Tigers in which he went 4-for-7 with a home run and three RBI, left fielder Adam Duvall has struggled mightily this season. In 2018, he’s hit .199/.282/.416 with 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 21 runs scored, 25 walks, and 67 strikeouts. Duvall has never been a player that hits for average, but in 2018, his BA, OBP, SLG, and OPS have all been the lowest of his Reds career. His wRC+ currently is at 84, also the lowest in his four years with the Reds.
Duvall’s struggles started long before this season, however.
