Ian Desmond has had a rough time in his first year with the Colorado Rockies. Hitting a baseball is hard and it must be even more complicated for a guy, generally known for his health, to be out of action with three separate disabled list stints complicated by learning a new position in first base. If rhythm and routine are a huge part of a player’s success, Desmond has been unfortunate to get off to such a poor start in his new digs. According to Manny Randhawa from MLB.com, Desmond is not just hitting the ball on the ground a lot but he’s not hitting it is hard as he used to either.
