Jorge Soler Back To Struggling With Contact
6 years agoKansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler has all but been guaranteed a starting role for the vast majority of this season, but he's back to trying to hit grand slams on every pitch. The good news is that Soler has one home run in his last 16 at-bats. The bad news is that's been his only hit for that time as well. Soler has struck out 44% of the time over his last six games, and he's batting just .130 over that span. Soler's got all the potential in the world and has shown flashes of it in the past, but it all hinges on him being able to make regular contact. Maybe he should call Trevor Story to ask how a more contact-heavy approach has worked out for him.
