Adam Dunn - King of the K's

Adam Dunn is on a pace to break his own record for most strikeouts in a single season, probably being the first in history to top 200 Ks

As of 7/24, Dunn has a nine game hitting streak going. During that streak, he has raised his batting average from .256 to .259. That's right, only 3 points. Usually during a hit streak, there are a few multiple hit games to bring your average up. Dunn has 10 hits in those 9 games. Ironically, he has 12 strikeouts during that same period.

Hot and Cold

After a torrid April, A-Rod went through a horrid May. It looked like all was right again in June, and now July is off to an even worse start.

In April and June, Alex Rodriguez hit .381 with an OPS of 1.291
In May and so far in July, he's hit .205 with an OPS of .698

The DL may be coming at just the right time, as he's now 0 for his last 19 at bats.

Also of not, in April and June he hit a home run every 8.2 at bats.
In May and July, he hit one every 23.4 at bats.


Why the slow down?
