Guys can have slumps and even bad half seasons and full seasons. I've had guys putting up regular 5-6 WAR seasons suddenly put up a 0-1 for a season and then just go back to dominating.
That's surely all that's going on here, Ruth is having an unusually bad stretch due to random variance that he'll break out of pretty soon. It happens to everyone. Even the real-life Babe had 1925 (though there were obviously some reasons for that).
