Manny Machado Lagging In Power Lately
4 years agoSan Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has had a solid start to the 2021 season overall. However, lately he's been lacking power production across the board. He doesn't have a single extra-base hit over his past 10 games. His last home run came against the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 15. Machado's underlying stats look fantastic. He has a 59.7% hard-hit rate, which ranks amongst the top 3% of the league. He also has a 14% walk rate, a big increase from last year's 10.2% clip. He has three home runs, two doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs over 24 games on the year. Expect to see him start producing more power numbers soon.
