Doesn’t count.Can Marcell Ozuna repay Braves for their continued trust?Many MLB fans often make the mistake of writing off a player very early, often soon after a short run of bad form. The same was done to Marcell Ozuna, and the question now remains whether he can prove them wrong. It's only natural for professional athletes to go through periodic slumps in their career, and it's easy to criticize them. However, we must remember that they have a difficult job that requires a lot of mental fortitude. The Atlanta Braves can only hope that Ozuna gets back to his best and proves his doubters wrong.
