Hunter Dozier Hammers Two Triples
6 years agoKansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier looks to be back at full strength after drilling a pair of triples in the first four-hit game of his career on Saturday against the Angels. Dozier was sidelined a little earlier in the week with back spasms, but he was right back on the horse this weekend as he's safely in hit in five of his nine at-bats against LA. Dozier is now hitting .350 with seven home runs, 16 RBI, and an OPS of 1.155 as he nears the end of April, and saying he's been one of the surprises of the young season is putting it mildly. Dozier's been an absolute wrecking crew for a Royals lineup that was expected to live and die by the stolen base, and his peripherals support the idea that he should remain above-average for the foreseeable future. Dozier looks like he is the epitome of a breakout this season.
