Fans are calling New York Yankees’ Didi Gregorius the “Ofer” because he is in the midst of a career-worst hitless streak encompassing 28 at-bats. The April Player of the Month has lost 100 points on his average since April 25 when he was batting .372—-he is currently batting .272.
While fans suspected that Gregorius would not keep up the torrid pace of his April play indefinitely, hitting .330 with 10 home runs and 30 RBI’s in 25 days, they did not expect him to fall to earth so completely so quickly.
New York Post’s Howie Kussoy reports that after the game Boone discussed Gregorius’ struggles:
“He’s just a little bit off from a timing standpoint,’’ Boone said.
