Are MLB’s Top Hitters Struggling or Sabotaged? The Shocking Truth Behind Their Slow Starts Revealed!
Not all of them will, however. With the season just more than 20% of the way down, Opta Analyst conducted an independent investigation into six All-Stars who have played right around replacement level.
Whose horrible April (and early May) should send alarm bells ringing, and whose shouldn’t?
Carlos Correa, Minnesota Twins
The Numbers: .216/.256/.304; 1 HR; 81.8 RV+; 58 wRC+; 0.3 fWAR
What’s gone wrong? A bit of everything. Correa’s power has dipped badly as he has combined a decline in launch angle (which began last season) with an inability to square the ball up. He’s hit exactly four balls on the barrel all season, according to Statcast data, falling from the 62nd percentile in barrel rate in 2024 to the 17th this year. The star shortstop also has dipped to an anemic 65.4 BIP+, which measures damage done upon contact (league average is 100).
