If the season ended in June, Ben Gamel would have had the third highest batting average in the American League. He led off regularly for the Mariners that month during Jean Segura’s absense, and was ripping the cover off the baseball. His 161 wRC+ in June was the best of any month during Gamel’s first full season in the bigs.
Unfortunately, Gamel’s fortunes turned in July, as his monthly wRC+ fell below 100 for the first time that season. The downward trend continued into August, where he managed a just 17 wRC+, before turning things back around in September.
