Sophomore jinx

From BR Bullpen

Jump to: navigation, search

A sophomore jinx is the popularly held belief that after a successful rookie season, a player in his second year will be jinxed and not have the same success. Most players suffer the "sophomore jinx" as scouting reports on the former rookie are now available and his weaknesses are known around the league.
