The curious case of Kolten Wong

What’s wrong with Kolten Wong? No, I am not trying to sound funny or rhyme here. I am legitimately concerned with the young second baseman’s performance.

The first half of the season for Kolten Wong was really good. He was really good defensively at second base and was also was having a really good season with the bat. Up until the all star break (where Wong should have been an all-star), Wong was hitting .280/.343/.434 with a .777 OPS and a pretty good 114 wRC+ (via Fangraphs). During that time, Wong had nine homers, eighteen doubles, and two triples while driving in 37 and swiping ten bags.
