DENVER – The hottest hitter in baseball last April, Trevor Story, is off to a really rough start this season. The Colorado shortstop is batting below the Mendoza Line in the first nine games of the Rockies season. More concerning than the summarizing numbers is his near 40% clip of a strikeout rate (13 Ks in 33 PA).
Yet Story has shown that he’s made strides in plate discipline, which was one of his biggest goals for the offseason. It’s just nine games, but considering his start last season, some are concerned his numbers.
“Last year is last year” for slumping Trevor Story
