Delgado struggled last year and if you look at his stats as a whole from this year, it looks like he is struggling again. However, when his numbers are split, one can see that he is starting to pick up the pace. In his first 52 games this year (up to June 1st), he had 193 AB, 25 R, 44 H, 7 2B, 8 HR, 25 RBI which all broke down to a .228 BA and a .307 OBP. His career numbers are a .279 BA and a .383 OBP. So looking at that, he was doing terrible.
Since then, he has turned things around. Since June 1st:
38 G, 144 AB, 24 R, 39 H, 11 2B, 8 HR, 25 RBI, .271 BA, .350 OBP
Those numbers are more like where Delgado should be. In those 38 games, he had as many RBI's and HR as he did in his first 52 games this year. July has been even better for Delgado:
10 G, 39 AB, 10 R, 15 H, 5 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, .385, .457 OBP
So far in July, his averages are up. On the whole since June, his power numbers and run production are slightly down (mostly due to his 9 RBI game at the end of June). I am not saying that Delgado is going to keep going and have MVP type numbers but if he can keep up the pace he is on since June 1st, he will be a huge help for the Mets current playoff push.
Keep hitting man, keep hitting.
