Xander Bogaerts Hitless Over His Last Six Games
4 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts has hit a rough patch in the season. He's gone 0-for-19 with eight strikeouts and three walks over his past six games. The six-game stretch has caused his batting average on the year drop from .343 to .309. Bogaerts is still in the midst of a great season overall and most of his underlying metrics support his success. His current .300 xBA is a career-best clip and ranks him in the 94th percentile. He also ranks in the 91st percentile in max exit velocity (113.6 mph). Expect to see him snap out of his slump soon.
