Some things we need to remember about Vlad. He is still the 7th youngest player in baseball. Players 22 and under who have played 100 games or more this season: Vlad, Soto, Carlson. He has never played a full MLB season. Players, even Vlad, go through funks. I think it's a combination of a few things. Bad luck, the physical and mental toll of a full MLB season, and a bit of pressure getting to him.

Honestly adversity for younger players is a good thing. He needs to learn how to manage a full MLB season. He is an extremely determined young man who will figure it out.

The Jays are crushing it with Vlad hitting near .150 for the last two weeks!
