The Atlanta Braves have a comfortable lead in their department with their eyes set on the post-season. June saw among the most effective offensive results in franchise history, yet the group has actually cooled down a bit in July.One of the players that has really seen his result cool down is Marcell Ozuna. In reality, he started cooling down during June. His OPS peaked at.850 with a reduce of.238/.327/.523 on the period on May 26th as well as has actually not gotten to that point again.Now, Ozuna rests at a wRC+ of ninety-seven (3.0 percent poor), and a 0.1 fWAR on the period. This is not exactly the kind of result we were expecting when we saw a look of his previous self early in June.So, what occurred because June?There are practically constantly numerous variables in play when we see either a drop off in manufacturing, or a rise, however allowed's attempt to dive in and also see what is happening with Ozuna.Right off the bat (word play here planned) we can see that he is back to swinging at bad pitches at a high clip. Over a fifteen game rolling portion we see that he is turning at 36.4 percent of pitches outside the area. For recommendation, on June 20th, he was only turning at 25.0 percent. Ozuna's swing price outside of the area This has appeared to lead to a spike in strikeout price and also lower in walk price. Since this creating Ozuna has the largest void between walk rate and strikeout price all season long. Moving strikeout as well as stroll price Setting out more and strolling less will undoubtedly harm any type of gamer's output. Ozuna's OBP has actually gone down from.330 at the end of June to.302 now. Undoubtedly hits play an element in his OBP as well, yet his lack of persistence has actually actually hurt him. As for simply totally getting hits, his batting standard has gone down from.247 at the end of June to.228. As we understand by currently, batting average and also OBP in and of themselves do not inform sufficient of the story, so allow's take a look at just how he is hitting the sphere when he does place it in play.Over the last fifteen games we see the most significant difference all season between fly rounds and line drives. Rolling line drive and fly ball rates He is striking fly rounds at a really high rate of 47.2 percent of the moment and his line drive rate is his cheapest of the period at 5.6 percent of the time.Hitting more fly balls is not always a negative point. However, in this certain situation, it shows up to be the instance as a result of a couple of elements. Initially, although he has a difficult hit price that is leading 25.0 percent of MLB, his difficult hit price has actually dropped from approximately 50.05 percent from May-June to 39.0 percent in July.So, he is not hitting the sphere as difficult, yet he is additionally striking the ball opposite field at a much higher rate while drawing the sphere at a much reduced rate. Over the past fifteen video games he has an opposite area price of 44.4 percent of the moment to a pull percent of 30.6 percent. Rolling striking area account Striking the round hard at a lower rate Braves Shorts, while seeing a massive decrease in collision in his line drive price while striking the sphere to the opposite area almost half of the moment is not perfect for a player of Ozuna's profile and we see it in his xwOBA over the last month. xwOBA by month We can see how these batted spheres incorporated with his loss of plate discipline has not only hurt his surface area numbers, however his XSTATS too. Ozuna had a superb xwOBA of.428 in the month of June following a great.403 in May. In July so far it has been a. 275. Just by considering his Statcast page we can see that his.361 xwOBA on the year in its entirety benefits leading 14.0 percent of MLB, which talks to exactly how excellent his May-June is. Nevertheless, July has been truly negative. For reference, his.275 in July is a full.077 listed below league standard this season.In SummeryIt is clear Ozuna is battling with the bat. His surface area numbers and also XSTATS are experiencing mightily over the previous month.Ozuna is turning at poor pitches at a high rate, however also not hitting the ball well when he does make contact. He is not hitting the ball hard as usually, yet when he is, he is hitting regular fly rounds to the contrary field far frequently. This has actually caused his wRC+ and also xwOBA to take a nose dive.Here is to hoping he can return to his May-June kind and also begin creating at an elite level again.
