In the early parts of the MLB season, the numbers on the scoreboard can be jarring. Some players can be hitting . 500, while others might be hitting in the .

100s. Or, if you're Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor, you look up and see . 000 in the batting average column.

Heading into Sunday, Naylor has yet to get a hit through three games. He's 0-for-11 with a pair of walks (including one intentional). Naylor has struck out just twice, so that's not necessarily the problem.
