So it appears as if Rhys Hoskins is just going to be a streaky player.
He hit 18 home runs in his first 34 big-league games, then went without a homer over the last two weeks of the season last year. He was awesome in April, hitting .303/.457/.528 with a wRC+ of 170, 4 homers, 29 strikeouts and 24 walks. Then, he cratered in May, batting .161/.253/.299 with a wRC+ of 51, 2 dingers, 32 strikeouts and 10 walks.
But now, after returning from the DL after fouling a Kenley Jansen fastball off his jaw, Rhys has been locked in again, batting .333/.400/.800 in June with a wRC+ of 212, 4 bombs, 6 strikeouts and 4 walks.
We think that ball may still be in orbit.#VoteHoskins: https://t.co/LNtBBqtZiZ pic.twitter.com/p3Ki6uD73Q

Buy now and ride the hot streak. Just get ready for another cold streak at some point down the road.
