GDT 7/6/14: ARZ (Miley) vs. ATL (Wood): Seeking Another Sweep

[nsacpi]

You just never get the sense that Heyward is gonna hit one out anymore... He should have a lot more power than he does. Crazy to think that his best season was his 20 year old season where he was a monster

Heyward ISO numbers:

2010 .179
2011 .162
2012 .210
2013 .173
2014 .122

He's definitely been down in the power department in the first half. But it isn't part of a trend. I think his ISO numbers will bounce back to something around .160-.180 in the second half.

We will need him to start hitting if we are gonna scare anyone in the playoffs and keep the Nats at bay. He is vital to both of those scenarios.

Yeah. Heyward and Minor are two guys who have underperformed relative to their standards in the first half. They could both give us a nice boost in the second half.
