Coming off a strong 2017 season both at the plate and in the field, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was primed for further success in 2018.
He looked to pick up where he left off from his resurgent campaign, but immediately slumped to begin the year. Puig hit just .193/.250/.250 for the entire month of April, recording only five extra-base hits in 96 plate appearances.
From that point on, Puig bounced back with stellar offensive statistics and salvaged his season. In May, he batted .283/.367/.604 with five home runs after not hitting any during the previous month.
