In a recent game, the Chicago Cubs triumphed over the Philadelphia Phillies with a score of 10-4. Riley Martin, making his first career start, impressively retired the side in order on just six pitches. However, the focus remains on first baseman Michael Busch, who is experiencing a drastic decline in performance this season after being one of the top hitters in the National League last year. After a promising start with two doubles in the season opener, Busch's struggles intensified, leading to an 0 for 30 streak. He managed to snap this streak with a pinch-hit RBI single against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but his subsequent hits against the Phillies did not instill confidence. Statcast data indicates that Busch's quality of contact has significantly decreased, with a rise in ground balls and a drop in exit velocity. As fans gather to discuss his performance, many are left wondering if Busch can regain his previous form or if his struggles will continue.
