This guy was projected as one of the biggest prospects in all of baseball unanimously. The Royals franchise was all riding on Hosmer (and also Moose).
A couple months ago Hosmer was hitting around .240 He had hit about .240 the previous year as well. And even worse, it was a .240
without power.
It was mostly all singles to the opposite field. He was way late on most of his swings, fouling the ball off to the opposite field. He had a very violent swing, that couldn't catch up to major league velocity.
All the city was calling for Hosmer to get sent to the minors.
Then, the hero, George Brett rode in on a white chariot and took over as batting coach.
Now, Hosmer is hitting nearly .300 and it's a .300
with power.
Just last night he hit two homeruns to single-handedly lead the Royals to victory over Baltimore. Chen was virtually unhittable to all the Royals batters, especially lefties, but Hosmer
pulled
two no doubt homers off the guy. Hosmer only hit 1 homer the first couple months of the season but he's hit nearly a dozen homers since George took over.
...anyway, we rarely have anything to be excited about in KC so this is a big deal

Well his babip and slugging seem to have mproved.
I question how much this had to do with Brett though. I mean fixing Hosmer if great and all but I don't see much improvement from other guys like Moustakas and Giovatella (I forgot how to spell his name). Couldn't this just be Hosmer managing to get a hold of himself?
