Despite having hit 15 HRs so far this year, Cespedes' other numbers are way down from those that he posted his rookie year last season. Whether he turns it around over the remainder of this season will probably not have much to do with having won the HR Derby last night, but it seems at least somewhat plausible to me that he could have gained additional confidence or sense of purpose that could help him improve over the rest of the season. On the other hand, it could also possibly result in him trying too hard to hit HRs, perhaps further adversely affecting his BA and OBP. Anyway, just curious if anyone has any thoughts about whether or how you might expect his performance last night to affect his play going forward.
