Summary
Manny Machado’s hitting slump is hitting rock bottom—his OPS sits at a career-low, and he’s struggling to even hit league average. But here’s the twist: it’s not all doom and gloom. While timing issues and missed pitches point to real problems, early signs of improvement from April through June suggest the Padres’ coaching staff might be onto something. With a history of success working with elite hitters like Aaron Judge, the mysterious hitting guru Doug Schenck could be part of the fix. Machado’s slump might be fixable—just don’t bet on it happening overnight. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
