Utley went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Reds. Utley is now in a 0-for-21 slump. His average has dropped to .185 and his OPS is sitting at .560 in 216 plate appearances. Utley's numbers have been hurt by a .199 BABIP, but he is also not making as much hard contact as he has in the past. His hard contact rate is 21.8% which is down significantly from last season's 30.4% and his career average of 35%. Utley is driving the ball with less authority which is leading to more outs and less home runs and line drive hits.
