More to the Eye Than a Slump for Max Moroff
Max Moroff has been slumping in the month of August. Photo Credit: David HagueMax Moroff has been one of the most consistent hitters in the Pirates minor league organization this season. Seeming to come out of nowhere, Moroff flew out of the gate with a 30-game on-base streak for the Altoona Curve where he hit .345 with a .919 OPS.
Moroff has flirted with the league lead in hits and batting average all season, but he has recently seen a dip in numbers since the calendar flipped to August. He still sits second in the league with 134 hits, and he is eight hits shy of breaking the Altoona Curve record for hits in a season by a switch hitter.
