Alex Verdugo In Midst Of 1-For-15 Stretch
3 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo has been struggling at the plate over his last four games. He's gone 1-for-15 with a double, two walks and seven strikeouts over that stretch. The strikeouts might be the most surprising metric from that stretch as he has an elite 14.8% strikeout rate on the year, ranking him in the 90th percentile. It's been a bit of an underwhelming year so far for Verdugo. In his first year with the Red Sox last year, he slashed .308/.367/.478. This year, his slash line is down across the board as he's slashing .268/.337/.408. He only has 10 home runs and five stolen bases, so he'll need to really get his batting average up in order to be a difference maker for fantasy purposes.
