F/F SPOTLIGHT: Byron Buxton
May 13 2021
Byron Buxton is the perpetual tease. The former top prospect owns elite athleticism that gives him true multi-category potential, but he has never been able to fulfill his upside over the long haul due to a combination of injuries and subpar pitch recognition.
But prior to his recent hip injury, Buxton was turning those tools into results:
Month BA HR RBI SB OPS BPV ========== ==== == === == ===== === April 2021 .426 8 14 3 1.363 159

Month BA HR RBI SB OPS BPV ========== ==== == === == ===== === May 2021 .208 1 3 2 .657 23
