Ozzie Albies Goes 2-For-5 In Tuesday's Loss
3 years agoAtlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 2-for-5 with a run scored in the team's 5-4 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Albies was red hot earlier this month, but has cooled off over the last 10 days or so. He hit five home runs over a six-game stretch from August 8 to August 14. Since August 14, however, he's only managed one extra-base hit, a double. He's slashing just .222/.290/.422 over August as a whole. Albies' 111.4 max exit velocity on the year is a career-best clip and it ranks in the 80th percentile. He's also maintained a career-best average launch angle of 21.1 degrees this year. He can be a bit streaky at times, but he should wrap up the year as one of the better overall producers at second base.
