Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak still has a .208 batting average and a .588 OPS for the season, but those awful numbers are actually dramatic improvements from where he was when June began. Since June 8, Moniak has hit .263 with a .770 OPS over 128 plate appearances. Both of those numbers are better than the MLB average. His self-evaluation now comes in the form of words that he writes in a journal every day.
“If you go 2 for 4 with two bloop hits, you’re excited about that,” Moniak said. “And if you go 0 for 4 with four line outs, you’re off because the numbers aren’t there. … But if I can take a step back and be like ‘No, you did everything right,’ instead of trying to fix something because you think stuff is going wrong, it’s allowed me to see things a little clearer.”Moniak still has a .208 batting average and a .588 OPS.
“When I looked myself in the mirror when I was hitting a buck-fifty or a buck-sixty, I just tried to have little goals to make each month better than the last,” Moniak said. “So far, I’ve been able to do that.”“I think what’s happening more than anything else is now when he’s getting a pitch in the zone, he’s not missing it,” Moniak said. “He’s starting to hit the hit them hard. Earlier, when he was getting those pitches in the zone, he was actually missing them.
