| 5/01/24 | Michael Busch's recent struggles are no reason for the Chicago Cubs to worry yet. Since his home run streak a couple of weeks ago, Michael Busch has looked like a completely different hitter for the Chicago Cubs. Over his past 11 games, however, he's fundamentally changed for the worst with many of his greatest strengths, like his plate discipline, becoming weaknesses. Busch began the year with a stellar .327/.410/.731 slash line, or a 209 wRC+ through his first 16 contests. It wasn't likely that he was going to keep slugging at that level throughout the entire season, but his contact quality and discipline from the minors had seemed to translate directly to the majors, as he boasted a 13.1% walk rate and 26.2% strikeout rate.
