Even legends hit rough patches, and right now, Corey Seager is navigating one of the toughest slumps of his career. The two-time World Series MVP shortstop is mired in a 0-for-27 drought over his last seven games for the Texas Rangers—a stretch that includes 11 strikeouts and marks the longest hitless skid of his big-league tenure.

"You're obviously still working on things and you'd like to see some better results, but you're not getting them," Seager said after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a wild 6-5 comeback win over Arizona on Wednesday night. Despite the struggles, Seager remains in the lineup almost every day, having started 42 of the Rangers' 43 games this season. "It's one of those things that you're going to figure it out out there," he added. "Right now, I want to keep going out there and trying to figure it out."

The 32-year-old shortstop, now in the fifth season of a $325 million, 10-year deal, is batting just .179—ranking 167th out of 174 qualified MLB hitters. His last hit came on May 6, an RBI single in the fourth inning at Yankee Stadium. Before that, he'd launched a solo homer in the first inning of a 6-1 win over New York, but strikeouts in his final two at-bats kicked off this frustrating stretch. Over his last 16 games, Seager is 6-for-61 (.098) with 23 strikeouts.

For a career .285 hitter with 4,500 at-bats over 1,173 games, this is unfamiliar territory. In eight of his 12 seasons, Seager never finished a game below the Mendoza Line. But first-year Rangers manager Skip Schumaker isn't wavering in his support. "Corey still feels good to go," Schumaker said. "I like him in the lineup."

While Seager insists he feels "completely fine" physically, the numbers tell a story of a star searching for his swing. With 28 hits, 22 walks, and 50 strikeouts in 182 plate appearances, it's clear the timing just isn't there yet. But if history has taught us anything, it's that great hitters find their way back—and Seager's track record suggests he's due for a breakout.
