The search for Jesus Aguilar’s bat
Jesus Aguilar has been less than stellar since the 2018 All Star game Jesus Aguilar was a breakout star in 2018. Eric Thames injured his thumb and missed substantial time. Aguilar took over for him at first base and essentially Korea’s version of God got “Wally Pipp-ed.” Aguilar did not relinquish the job slashing .274/.352/.539 in 2018. His torrid first half resulted in an All-Star appearance and the understanding that he would be the “no doubt” starting first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers.
