Has Christian Yelich (32, Milwaukee Brewers), a former MVP who has been disappointed for three consecutive seasons since the 2019 season until last year, finally survived?
Yelich had a batting average of 메이저사이트 0.287, 11 home runs, 45 RBIs, 65 runs, 90 hits, and an on-base percentage of 0.381 OPS 0.840 in 84 games of the season until the 7th (Korea Standard Time).
Compared to his heyday, he is still lacking in the slugging power category. However, Yelich showed a sharp rise to 0.912, starting with OPS 0.842 in May.
In particular, he is showing an amazing batting average of 0.450 and OPS of 1.392 this month. In a game against the Chicago Cubs on the 7th, he hit 10 home runs this season.
Yelich is also doing his part in base play, recording 21 stolen bases (two failures) until this day. He is expected to surpass his own record of 30.
If Yelich continues his momentum in June and early this month, he will be able to end the failure of the last three seasons.
Yelich won the MVP award with 36 home runs and 1.000 OPS in the 2018 season, and he also flew with 44 home runs and 1.100 OPS in the 2019 season.
However, Yelich has been going downhill since the 2020 season, when he signed a nine-year, $215 million contract. He has only recorded 35 home runs-OPS 0.745 in the last three seasons.
As a result, Yelich used to be listed in cases of malicious contracts in the Major League Baseball. Attention is focusing on whether Yelich will be able to clear this stigma from this season.
