We are just over a month into the season and the list of struggling MLB stars seems to be growing by the day. It’s hard to believe some of the guys on the list are even there given their track record and ability to succeed for most of their career.

Baseball is one of the toughest sports out there because of the up-and-down nature of a season. Many players go through lengthy slumps that make people question if they should be taken out of the lineup for a few days in order to get their heads right.

Other players have to fight through the slump on their own and change up their routines a bit — baseball players are extremely superstitious.

I’m here to take a look at five MLB players who are struggling right now, but could catch fire at any minute given their past success.
