Freddie Freeman has seen his batting average fall drastically this season, including a stretch over the last 14 games where he is hitting .186 and 1-for-26 with runners in scoring position.

"Right now, I suck. There's no getting around it," Freeman said.

"I feel great. I've had a pretty horrible season so far. There's not sugarcoating it, I'm just not getting hits. The hits I do get are obviously not with guys in scoring position, but obviously that needs to change. If it doesn't happen soon. ... I'm already getting frustrated. Usually my track record's pretty good with guys on base."

Freeman led the Major Leagues in batting average with runners in scoring position in 2015. Prior to his current skid, however, he went on a 12-game tear - hitting .422 with five home runs over that span.

"I guess it's back down into a valley," Freeman said. "That's just the way this season's going. I feel good up there, just nothing's working, nothing's falling. I had a good three-week stretch there, now I'm back down for some reason.

"I feel good, I'm not doing anything different. There's nothing I can really do but keep going out there and swinging."
