Friend of the site Steve Kinsella mentioned this on Twitter recently, but I also wanted to highlight the recent improved play of Lucius Fox. Since his first multi-hit game on Apr. 22, he's batting .371 with an 11.3 percent walk rate and 22.5 percent strikeout rate. In the 12 games before that, he was striking out 29.5 percent of his plate appearances. He only has three extra-base hits in the hot stretch. I wonder if there's been an emphasis on just making contact lately.
