Hamilton with Reds:
.245 BA
.298 OBP
.333 SLG
162-Game Average SBs - 56

EDLC:
.251 BA
.327 OBP
.448 SLG
162-Game Average SBs - 61

EDLC is better than BH in every category, but his OBP and especially BA are not too far off BH.
The SLG is a big difference maker though.

I've felt that same vibe myself. A year ago or so he seemed to be on track to be a total Super Star. Now I'm not so sure? Granted he's still very young but he swings at pitches sometimes that are just baffling? Damn near eye high to him, which is very high lol. A foot and a half outside, they were never even close to the strike zone coming out of the pitchers hand all the way to the plate!!

He's like in the top 6 or something in MLB in strike outs. I'm just thinking that perhaps if he just stays on one side it will help him being more consistent at some point down the road.
