Matt Chapman Struggling Through Slow Start
1 week agoSan Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman went 0-for-5 with a run scored on Wednesday and is hitting just .205 through his first 12 games of the season. He does have a pair of home runs, eight walks, and eight RBI, so he has still contributed to the Giants' 9-3 start to the season, but his batting average is lagging. His batted-ball data shows a decline in hard-hit rate to just 33.3% so far this season, which would be his lowest rate since arriving in the MLB in 2017 with the Athletics. He has gone 0-for-17 in his last four games, and he'll look to turn things around on Friday after Thursday's day off as the Giants start a 10-game road trip with matchups against the Yankees, Phillies, and Angels.
