## Resource

Daylen Lile’s hot streak is cooling, but his ceiling? Still sky-high. After a brutal slump—just four hits in 27 at-bats—he’s swinging at way too many bad pitches, his chase rate up nearly 10 percentage points. Last year’s disciplined hitter is back to being selective, and that’s what made him dangerous. While his stats aren’t broken, his defense has skyrocketed, making him a force on the field. The real issue? He’s overthinking, trying to force heroics in high-leverage moments. At just 23, with his bat and glove improving, Lile’s got the tools to turn this slump into a comeback—and maybe even a breakout season.
