Good Enough to Give Up ABs?
I truly enjoy my Braves - especially since they are doing so well this season.
They restocked their farm system with high quality drafted pitchers and great amateur free agent signings (i.e. Acuna, Albies, Camargo). The young position players are excelling this year as are a number of the young pitchers...albeit only while they have the ball in their hands. I haven't check other teams, but the Braves' pitchers are absolutely horrible as hitters: With the exceptions of Julio Teheran (.194) and Touki Toussaint (.167) the ladder of which began his career as a position player, here are the numbers: Kevin Gausman- 1 for 15 with 2 BB and 6 Ks ; .067 Mike Foltynewicz 3 for 54 with 0 BB and 37 Ks ; .056 Sean Newcomb 2 for 44 with 1 BB and 31 Ks ; .045 Anibal Sanchez 0 for 36 with 1 BB and 24 Ks ; .000 Staff totals: 22 for 260 with 7 BB and 141 Ks ; .085 Perhaps, it is now time to re-consider the DH in the National League. . |
