Through August 4 Jay Bruce was having a very solid season. He was hitting .260 with a slugging percentage close to .500 (.492) and a very respectable .833 OPS. His 17 HR and 59 RBI ranked in the 30's among all MLB players which is pretty good considering there are 30 MLB teams.
However over the last month Bruce has only hit .127 (14 of 110) with only 8 extra base hits and 5 walks. His slugging percentage has only been .245 over that period. These are poor numbers even for a pitcher. I know Bruce has a tendency to be a streaky hitter, but I don't think I have ever seen him slump this bad for this long.
His batting average has dropped to .229 and his OPS has dropped by almost 100 points to .736.
