Marlins' Marcell Ozuna: Breaks out of slump with two hits, two RBI
Ozuna went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Wednesday's road loss to Minnesota, ending an eight-game skid in which he'd gone just 2-for-26 (.077).
Even that slump couldn't take too much of the shine off the big stats Ozuna's delivered for the Marlins and fantasy owners this year. That said, there's reason for fantasy owners to exercise caution with -- or even sell high on -- the 25-year-old outfielder. Aside from a slight spike in fly-ball rate (which does lend itself to an increase in homers), there's little in Ozuna's statistical profile to suggest that he's grown into a different player from the one who hit .265/.311/.416 over his first three MLB campaigns. That .365 BABIP will continue falling down to normality, leaving us with more or less the same Ozuna that we've come to know in past seasons.
