2. Fielding Percentage
Can't score runs against solid defense, and good
groundball pitching to make those routine plays
just a bit easier.
Ranking: 1st
3. Double Plays
Make a mistake and get someone on base, no
worries, roll em up and get out of the inning.
Ranking: T-2nd
4. Extra Base Hits (Non HR’s)
Don't need to hit the ball over the fence if you can
do half as well or 3/4 as well more often than
most of the league.
Ranking: 2nd in 2Bs, 4th in 3Bs
5. Strikeouts Against
No dumb outs here, and believe me the quality of
pitching is much greater in the National League
(Holowaty is a sham), this is tough to do
Ranking: 3rd
