Hamilton is now hitting .357 this season. It's what he's done since June 1 that's the reason his average has made such an impressive climb. Hamilton is hitting an MLB-best .432 (83-for-192) since June 1. In his last 35 home games, he's hit safely in 34 of them and has 34 RBIs, nearly one a game. He's hitting .413 in that stretch.
He won AL Player of the Month for June pretty easily. Could he add July to his resume in 2010 as well? He's batting .388 this month with five homers and 13 RBIs. He's got a .432 on-base percentage and a 1.120 OPS.

There's one more stat that I think is interesting and can give you an idea of each player's statistical value to their teams and that's runs created:
Josh Hamilton leads the American League with 99 runs created. Cabrera, of course, is right on his tail at 94 runs created.
