Busch Struggles at Plate

Michael Busch, one of the best hitters in the National League last year, is off to a terrible start this season. After getting two doubles in the season opener, his bat has fallen silent. He had an 0 for 30 streak before a bloop pinch-hit RBI single against the Pirates. extract-html.com

Busch returned to the lineup against the Phillies and had two singles, but neither hit inspired confidence. One was a ground ball single that found a hole between first and second basemen, while the other was an infield dribbler towards third. The problem appears to be that Busch simply isn't hitting the ball hard or in the air.
