Nearly three-quarters of the way into this, Bour’s fourth full major league season, he’s putting up a career worst .763 OPS. That’s not a bad figure, but matched up against his 2015 figure of .800, his 2016 mark of .824, and last seasons’ .902, something may be amiss.
As Miami’s only legitimate power threat, Bour is indeed leading the Miami Marlins with 19 home runs and 54 RBI this season. Generally, baseball players don’t break new ground in their performance past the age of 30, which is where Bour finds himself as of three months ago.
