Ian Desmond goes 0-for-3 with a walk in first game versus the Braves
by Matthew Hoffman | Tue, Apr 28th 5:15pm EDT
Ian Desmond loses his hot bat and is back down to a .253 batting average. Before his 0-for-3 game versus the Braves, he went 0-for-4 versus the Marlins and had 4 strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact:
Desmond is in a major slump all of the sudden and is struggling to make contact. The biggest issue is his RISP, his slash line is: .167/.167/.167 with only five RBI. The entire Nationals team is in a slump right now as they are on a six game losing streak and last in the NL East, but Desmond is one of the guys really struggling right now. He is leading the league in errors with nine and is pressing at the plate causing him to struggle. His RISP slash line shows his lack of plate discipline all season and his inability to change his approach. The Nationals are looking to turn things around starting tonight at Atlanta versus Julio Teheran.
