June is upon us and it's time to look back at the results of the month of May. The Tigers own the first three spots on the hard hits leaderboard but that has not added up to a lot of tallies in the win column. Statcast host Mike Petriello and national editor Matt Meyers explain why having power hitters like J.D. Martinez and Miguel Cabrera in the lineup have not helped the Tigers attain a better record. Khris Davis of the Athletics is flat out crushing the ball this season but is he one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball? The guys also take a look at the Dodgers' successful strategy of throwing higher in the strike zone than other teams and induct Hunter Renfroe's 101.6 mph throw from right field against the Cubs into the Statcast Hall of Fame.
