MIAMI (AP) — Marlins left fielder Marcell Ozuna is hitting like an All-Star again, and this year he hopes to keep it going.
Ozuna tailed off badly in the second half last season after making the All-Star team for the first time. He’s off to another torrid start, ranking among the NL leaders with a .333 average, 17 homers, 47 RBIs, 83 hits and a .983 OPS.
Over the past 18 games, Ozuna has hit .408 with six homers to help the Marlins go 12-6 and revive their season after a dismal start.
“He has been unreal,” teammate Christian Yelich said.
