Cedric Mullins Turning A Corner With Four-Game Hit Streak
3 years agoBaltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins got off to a slow start to the 2022 season, but he's been making some strides offensively over the past week. He's currently riding a four-game hitting streak. Over the course of the four-game stretch, he's walked four time and struck out just once. He's also scored a total of seven runs over his past four games after compiling just three runs across his first 14 games. The 27-year-old is making a lot of good contact right now with a 45.3% hard-hit rate and a 13.2% barrel rate. Both of those numbers are up from last year (39.4% hard-hit rate; 8.1% barrel rate). He's slugging .377 on the season, but he has an xSLG of .514, suggesting his surface power stats are a bit misleading. Expect to see him produce more extra-base hits over the coming weeks than he has thus far.
