Orlando Arcia got off to an awful start to his 2018 season. When he was sent down, he was slashing .197/.231/.251 in 66 games. His walk rate was a career low 4.2% and his strikeout rate was a career high 24.1%. If anyone ever deserved to go back down to figure his swing out, it was Arcia.
How’s Arcia doing now?
Since getting optioned back to Colorado Springs a few weeks ago, Arcia has been on a bit of a tear. He’s slashing .375/.457/.575 with a homer in his last 10 games at Triple-A. He’s also riding a four-game hit streak with multiple hits in each game.
