Justin Upton Hitting .211 In 50 Games Since Hot Start 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jun 26, 2013 12:25 pm

The Braves raced out to a 12-1 record this season, but are just 33-32 since as Justin Upton has cooled down.


Upton hit 12 home runs in his first 23 games, but he's hit .211 with three home runs in 50 games since.


He hasn't gotten much help from his teammates in the outfield. B.J. Upton continues to struggle (.177 average and 83 Ks) and Justin Heyward is hitting .216 after missing time following an appendectomy.


It was expected that Justin Upton would cool down, but Atlanta also hoped B.J. Upton and Heyward would pick things up.
