In the month of June the offense for the Cincinnati Reds has slowed down noticeably. During that time three of the Reds’ low OBP batters in Billy Hamilton, Jose Peraza, and Scott Schebler all have OBP below .300. It is the most unusual for Schebler, but the most damaging for Hamilton.
Hamilton has played most of the season inching his way towards All Star consideration. Thanks to a slow start to June, however, Hamilton’s OBP has dipped below the magical .300 marker. The batting average is also below .250 for the Reds’ best defensive center fielder of all-time.
