HBT: Hamilton hitting just .201 in last 40 games

Josh Hamilton went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts last night, chasing a bunch of pitches out of the strike zone in the process, and now has a batting average below .300 and a slugging percentage below .600 for the first time this season.

That doesn?t sound so bad, of course, but considering how ridiculous Hamilton?s numbers were early on it?s been quite a fall.

He hit .395 with a .744 slugging percentage in April and .344 with a .781 slugging percentage in May, but since June 1 he?s batting just .201 with a .396 slugging percentage and 51 strikeouts in 40 games.

Hamilton has struck out in 30.1 percent of his plate appearances during that time, compared to 18.8 percent in April and May, and he?s also drawn just 13 non-intentional walks in 169 trips to the plate.
