Teoscar Hernandez Wins 2024 Home Run Derby, Portending Drop-Off In Second Half OPS

I'm excited that Teoscar Hernandez became the first Dodger player to win the Home Run Derby.

On the other hand, as per ESPN: 23 of the 39 Home Run Derby winners went on to see a dip in OPS after the All-Star Break.

On average, OPS fell by .031 among winners, with 59% seeing an average dip of .116 and 31% a rise of .091.

Yep, that's what this beleaguered Dodgers lineup needs from Teoscar Hernandez in the second half. I can't wait.
