Dylan Cozens with his 3rd HR in his last 7 games. His BB and K rates, as well as his BA, OBP, and SLG are all down in August. His LD % is down to 10% for the month, compared with 19% and 21% the previous two months, (June is a very small sample). His August BABIP is .216, due, in what I would guess is large part, to that low LD %. Not making solid contact and not getting many breaks otherwise.
One would hope he would lean on his previously good plate discipline, (walk rates of 7.7% in August, after 15.2% and 14.0% the previous two months), but it seems like maybe he’s trying to swing his way out. Impossible to tell for sure from the stats. Someone go ask him. Go ahead. Just walk right up. Don’t be intimidated. He’s only 6’6″ 235 lbs. Not scary at all.
