Dean's Weekly Hot And Cold Hitters

A Blog By Dean

First full week down in the MLB and a lot of the players who were HOT last week, are COLD this week.

Again, I will format these as seven hot players and seven cold players. I will take their stats from the last seven days and try to incorporate Sunday Night Baseball as best as possible. It will not necessarily be the top seven in OPS or anything like that. For example, Luis Arraez isn’t the top in any category, but he was hitless last week and turned it around quickly in a few days.

Probably a hot take to have someone like Shohei Ohtani on here. Sorry, but no one wants to bear about Andy Pages being the worst-qualified hitter this week. I am going to focus on the big stars as much as possible. Also, Ohtani is actually very streaky and has been for the past two seasons.
