Good news: Zack Collins hit a home run last night.
Bad news: It’s only his second of the season.
Concerning news: Since April 14th, he is 3-for-38 hitting and his season slash line is .177/.366/.339. Great to see him taking his walks, but it would be nice to watch him break out of this slump and punish pitching at this level.
