Phillies OF Shane Victorino had two singles and one run in four at-bats Monday against the Dodgers. He also walked once. Victorino has four multi-hit games in his last seven outings and is 9-for-27 (.333) with one homer, four RBI and six walks in that span. What has gotten into Victorino? He had two home runs right before the All-Star break and has nine already afterward. He had underperfomed power-wise before this recent hot streak, but he again looks like a 15-40 candidate.

In today’s MLB Front Office, their Trendspotting feature highlighted the two seasons of Victorino:

Shane Victorino: For the Phillies outfielder, this has been a tale of two seasons. April OPS: 583; May OPS: 855; June OPS: 630; July OPS: 1000. He hit no homers in April and June but still has 11 on the season. His career numbers outline a similar pattern - April and June are bad months, with a good May squeezed in between. If his career patterns continue, you can expect a better August, followed by a mediocre September. He’s shown a little more power than last year, and had he not missed some time to injury he would be a lock for 20/30. Victorino is only 28 and he should continue to develop - he may never go in the first rounds but he is quickly becoming a guy who is productive across the board.
