Free Passes and Long Balls

[stringer bell]

Dozier has drawn three walks and was hit by a pitch and hit two homers in the last two days. His OPS has increased to .670 while his BA remains in the .230s. Is this just a flukish stretch or is there really some hope that Dozier can be a functional hitter?

A little of both. Dozier was always a decent hitter in the minors, he could be learning to hit at this level. Another month or so will tell the tale.
