During the long Major League Baseball (MLB) season, it is extremely normal for big league hitters to have hot and cold streaks. For success in the MLB, it is all determined by how long you are able to stay away from those dreaded cold streaks and keep your hot streaks alive. Sometimes, this results in players seeing those hot streaks during various times of the day, certain weeks, months, or even specific years. Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks is one of the most interesting examples of this.
Ketel Marte plays second base for the Diamondbacks and if you take a look at his stats, he seemingly loves to hit on odd-numbered years. For the past 6 seasons, Ketel produced exceptional hitting stats in 2019, 2021, and 2023, but had been quite underwhelming in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Have the Baseball and MLB gods cursed Ketel Marte to only hit during specific years or is there a bigger story behind his strange success?
