During spring training, there was not a better hitter on the team than Justin Turner. He slugged three home runs, hit .457 and had a slash line that was in the stratosphere. Then the regular season began and while JT is hitting .282, he has yet to hit a home run and his slugging percentage is down at a lowly .310. While he could be battling a hamstring injury that caused him to grimace in the last serious, the issue appears to be ground balls.
Overall, Justin Turner has a hard hit rate of 50% which is up five percent from 2018 and twelve percent from his 2017 season when he hit twenty-one home runs.
