ANAHEIM, CA – JUNE 29: Joc Pederson /

. Joc Pederson. A-. .

Talk about having some sense knocked into you. Following his return from the disabled list after his collision with Yasiel Puig, Joc Pederson has been absolutely crushing opposing pitchers.

Since his return on June 13th, Pederson hit .291 with six home runs in 17 games during the month. On the year, Pederson has raised his average up over .230 with eight home runs, so that should tell you just how good he has been since his return.

Pederson was seeing the ball better too, striking out only once every four-plus at-bats as opposed to his season average of once every three at-bats. His walk total had also increased dramatically, walking 11 times, when he walked a combined 13 times over the first two months.

He is starting to resemble the player we expected him to be, so hopefully, he can keep it up and not be a flash in the pan.

June Slash Line: .291/.426/.709
