  • Dee Gordon 2B

    In 1941, Ted Williams hit .406

    His BABIP in 1941 was .378

    - - - - - - - - - -

    Through 109 AB's, Gordon's BABIP is .494

    Gordon is hitting .440

    Ted Williams was really good.

    How did he have a BABIP lower than his actual batting average? That seems like it would be actually impossible to me.

      Lots of home runs and not striking out.

        Yup. BABIP does not account for HRs and K's.

          Since 2000, only two batters who qualified for the batting title posted a BABIP over .400. Only 37 posted a BABIP over .375. That's out of some 2,200 qualified seasons.

          So, he's got a looooot of regression ahead of him. The question is, can he stay in the 98th percentile and stay around .375, or is he going to fall to .350-ish or further?

          No. 2 in BABIP is Marcell Ozuna. So, that's gonna be a fun regression for the two of them.

            The last person to hit over .370 was Ichiro (.372) in 2004.

                    Do not tell Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon, under any circumstances, that he’s leading baseball in batting average at .439. Gordon, like Christian Yelich, goes out of his way to avoid seeing his batting average. “It’s not good for the mind,” Gordon explained.

                    Gordon has studied two excellent former leadoff hitters–-- Juan Pierre and Chone Figgins --- and keeps in touch with both. Gordon is so gifted that he said he believes he could have been an NBA player; Louisville coach Rick Pitino, a big Marlins fan and season-ticket holder, wanted to sign him as a point guard out of high school in Avon Park, Fla.

                    Why did he pick baseball? “My dad made me,” Gordon said. That would be former big-league pitcher Tom Gordon.

                    “You don’t want to put down anybody, but I think he’s a little bit better than what Jose Reyes was in his prime because he’s incredibly fast,” Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels told Philadelphia media.

                        What are the odds that we just actually lucked into a batting champion?

                          small

                          Because he probably won't win the batting title and because we didn't luck into him. This was a guy they targeted and went and got.

                          :D

                              his UZR is over double any other 2B in baseball
