On September 4th, Starlin Castro had his 6th straight multihit game, raising his batting average to .321. He was competing in the batting title, but the question remained as to if he would get enough plate appearances to qualify.
Fast forward to today, and Castro has 501 plate appearances, and needs just one to qualify for the batting title. However, that is a moot point now, as Castro has batted just .164 in the 19 games since September 4th. He has just 11 hits in 67 ABs, and just one extra base hit as well (a double), to go along with a paltry 2 runs scored. That's not exactly what you want to see from your #2 hitter in the lineup.
His average stands at .298 and, unless he has a decent weekend, will fall short of the .300 batting average that seemed so assured just 4 weeks ago.
