Dexter Fowler’s 2018 is one that he’d rather forget. In the three seasons prior, Fowler’s play approached or surpassed All-Star caliber. In his first season with the Cardinals, Fowler slashed .264/.363/.488 for a 121 wRC+, but in his follow-up season, his performance got cut in half. Last season, Fowler posted a Jeff Mathisian .180/.278/.298 and 62 wRC+. Unlike Mathis, Fowler can’t rely on his defense to carry him. In limited playing time, Fowler cost the Cardinals five runs in right field by Defensive Runs Saved and that was an improvement over 2017.
