6 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland hit a solo home run on Tuesday in the Sox loss to the Blue Jays. Although it’s only been a week, Moreland’s bat has cooled off a bit from the beginning of the month. Still, he’s been one of the Red Sox biggest producers this year. He’s doing it with a career high barrel rate, exit velocity, hard hit percentage, and walk rate. Moreland is only owned in 34 percent of Yahoo leagues despite all of this. It’s likely due to a history of some drop off In his production as the season goes on. If you need power, his bat fits nicely in the heart of the Sox lineup against righties. Ride the hot streak and hope it lasts, but be aware that if history repeats itself regression may be coming.--Zach Alexander
