White Sox Minor Keys: April 27, 2018
After spending much of the first month breathing Seby Zavala’s exhaust, Zack Collins has done wonders to salvage his April over the last four games.
Collins was hitting .054/.294/.135 with 19 strikeouts over 51 plate appearances on April 22. Over course of four games, he’s raised his season OPS to an unremarkable .746. He extended his hitting streak with a triple that led to the Barons’ only run on Friday night, and he drew a couple walks on top of it.
He’s now hitting .160/.386/.360, and the strikeout rate has fallen from 38 percent to 30 percent.
