Let’s get this out of the way, because it needs to be said right off the bat: Bryce Harper is going to start hitting again, and most likely sometime soon. He’s going to start hitting like the menace to opposing pitchers he has been for the vast majority of the last two seasons. That said, he sure isn’t hitting like that guy right now. With another feeble performance at the plate last night - 0-for-5 with three strikeouts - Harper’s sudden and dramatic slump continued. He’s now 1 for his last 23. He has struck out in nine of his last 13 at-bats. His batting average, which stood at .328 only seven days ago, has plummeted to .256. Harper didn’t delve too deeply into the subject when asked about his slump following last night’s 7-6 loss to the Royals, insisting he still feels “great” at the plate but needs to stick with what he’s doing right now to snap out of it. - See more at: http://www.masnsports.com/nationals...rs-slump-continues-now-1-for-his-last-23.html
