Ian Desmond Plagued By Strikeouts Again
7 years agoColorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond went hitless in three at-bats on Sunday, and two of those ended in strikeouts. This is continuing a worrying trend for Desmond, as he already has 11 strikeouts on the season. It's a trend that is present in multiple players in the Rockies everyday lineup, as shortstop Trevor Story and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez are also missing regularly. The concern is that while Desmond may see his home run numbers rise due to selling out more for power, his batting average could drop precipitously. After Sunday's game, Desmond's on-base percentage stands at just .239 since he's yet to walk this year.
