    Nick's 15-game hitting streak

    .391/.425/.536, only 4 strikeouts in 73 PA.

    He's looked pretty good in that stretch, but as SG has pointed out, he isn't walking much (4 BB in those 15 games). The ISO is also a bit lower than you'd like to see, although 4 2B and 2 HR in 15 games is a decent clip of extra base hits. Hopefully he can stay hot for a while and get his numbers into the respectable range.

    .
    Although George Sisler holds the all-time franchise record for a hitting streak at 41 games, I do remember that Pat Kelly had the longest hitting streak in the American League of the 1977 season for the Orioles at 19 games (I only know that because they said it on WPIX television back in 1978 when I was watching a Yankees-Orioles game).

    He's back leading the club in hits like he should be.

    Markakis career BABIP of .324, in 2011 it sits at .285. Normally, stat heads would be quick to say he's been a bit "unlucky." His infield fly balls are WAY up this season, but otherwise same GB/LD/FB profile. In the games I've watched, I would have never suspected his LD% to be just as high as always, it really seems he is squaring the ball up much less frequently than in the past.

    16-game hitting streak now. One away from his career high.

    Nick's OPS in June is 806. Hitting 340 in 97 at bats in June. 'Atta boy, Nick!

    Great to see Nick regain his stroke and solid approach at the plate. As Nick goes is how the Orioles go.

    Even for the year, OBP is going back to decent. He's at .689... which isn't good... but it's a heck of an improvement from even 3 weeks ago. As of the completion of June 1's games, NM had an OBP of just .629.

    I think it's a near lock that he'll finish the year around .750 OPS.... if not better. I just hope his first two month of the season struggles don't continue to be a career trend.

    Really looks like he's shortened his stroke up and just taking what the pitcher gives him. For the first time in a long time, I was actually confident when he came up to bat with a runner on 3rd and two out.

    Not really. The team is 7-9 during his 16-game streak.

    Without Nick, they'd probably be 4-12. Just a number off the top of my head ha. He's a valuable player but still not the star to carry the whole team.

    I would still like to see more power and more walks but he is definitely coming around.

    Nick is one of my favorite players and I'm glad to see him coming around at the plate. It's a good time for it although I admit (obviously) early would have been better.

    Pretty amazing to see his average just under .280 considering how disappointing he's been this year. Here's to hoping he can continue the hot streak.
