Sluggers Come Alive

Yoenis Cespedes and Mike Trout got off to slow starts this season, but both now own nine game hit streaks that show their power. Trout is hitting for average and getting on base, with a .438/.514/.875 slash line, hitting four home runs and driving in nine runs.

Cepedes makes that look like a slump. He hit six home runs and drove in 20 runs, adding nine runs scored. His slash line stands at .382/.482/1.059. He doesn’t have as many hits or walks, but he’s doing a lot more damage.

Both are a good reason to ignore early season slumps when great players are involved.
