Brandon Belt Having Horrific Start To 2023
2 years agoToronto Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Belt is having one of the worst starts to the season in all of baseball, as he's slashing .053/.143/.105 with no homers, no RBI, and one run across five games while striking out an incredible 57.1% of the time. The 34-year-old is trying to bounce back after an injury-plagued campaign held him to .676 OPS and 78 games in 2022 as a member of the San Francisco Giants, but so far, that hasn't been the case. It's still a bit early to call the season a wash for Belt, as he can still provide north of 15 HRs while on the strong side of a platoon, but he isn't valuable enough to occupy a roster spot in shallower leagues with better options on the waiver wire.
