Coldest Hitters In June
The following 10 players are ice cold so far in June. If you play in daily fantasy baseball leagues, these guys should be at the top of your do-not-play list.
10. Howie Kendrick
10. Howie Kendrick
At the end of May, Kendrick was slashing .290/.361/.406 and he had already swiped nine bases. So far in June, though, he's slashing just .219/.265/.297 and he's attempted just one steal … and he was caught.
9. Alexei Ramirez
9. Alexei Ramirez
Ramirez was one of the top shortstops in fantasy baseball for the first two months of 2014. He's regressed back to reality though in June; so far this month he's hitting just .238 to go with zero home runs, six runs, zero RBIs and one steal.
8. Shin-Soo Choo
8. Shin-Soo Choo
If Choo has been in your lineup at all this month, he's been nothing but a drain. Choo is hitting a measly .132 this month to go with zero home runs, five runs, eight RBIs and no steals; his .019 ISO in June is the third worst in baseball.
7. Aaron Hill
7. Aaron Hill
Hill is slashing just .219/.215/.313 this month to go with just one home run, five runs and eight RBIs.
6. Justin Upton
6. Justin Upton
Upton owners should be nervous that his 2014 season doesn't play out exactly like his 2013 did. So far in June, though, it's looking like a repeat of 2013 might be in store. Upton is hitting just .189 this month to go with one home run, seven runs and four RBIs. His .225 wOBA in June is the sixth lowest in baseball.
5. Adrian Gonzalez
5. Adrian Gonzalez
Adrian Gonzalez was arguably the hottest hitter in baseball back in April, he cooled off a bit in May and now he's ice cold in June. Gonzalez has a slash line of .175/.242/.246 this month to go with zero home runs, seven runs and five RBIs.
4. Yadier Molina
4. Yadier Molina
Molina was the consensus No. 2 catcher heading into the season, but so far this month, he's looked like someone who should be in free agency. Molina's hitting just .192 in June to go with just one home run, one run and three RBIs.
3. Josh Donaldson
3. Josh Donaldson
Donaldson shot out of a cannon to start 2014 and toward the end of May, his name was being floated around as a possible AL MVP candidate. Then June came. Heading into this month, Donaldson was hitting .280 to go with 15 home runs, 48 runs, 46 RBIs, a .271 ISO and a .400 wOBA. So far in June, Donaldson has hit just .174 to go with two home runs, six runs, six RBIs, a .087 ISO and a .205 wOBA -- the fourth lowest in baseball.
2. Jean Segura
2. Jean Segura
Segura was one of the top shortstops in fantasy baseball in 2013, but so far this season, he's been nothing but disappointing. Segura has a slash line of .171/.203/.229 this month to go with just eight runs, four RBIs and three steals. His .186 wOBA in June is the third lowest in baseball.
1. Everth Cabrera
1. Everth Cabrera
Cabrera is hitting .131 this month to go with four runs, three RBIs and just two steals. His .016 ISO and .166 wOBA in June are both the second lowest among qualified hitters and his 32.4 percent strikeout rate is the 11th highest rate this month.
