It’s unquestionably been a down year for one of the faces of the Rockies franchise. Charlie Blackmon has seen nearly all his numbers drop to career lows in a full season.
What’s been most notable, and pointed out by Mario DeGenz about a month ago, was his drop in power. The 35-year-old is slugging a career low .411 with just 13 home runs on the year (six of them coming in the last 30 days) with less than three weeks remaining.
More specifically however, it’s been Charlie’s inability to hit fastballs from right-handed pitchers that has hurt his game.
