Among NL batters with 150 PA, look who leads the league in driving in baserunners. I'm not convinced this is really a skill above and beyond regular hitting but it's interesting to see.
Maybe the most interesting part of it, that Hanigan leads the Reds in driving in runners who are on FIRST BASE.
(OK, he's converted 6 baserunners on first into runs in 44 chances )
Although Bruce hasn't been good, he has improved from earlier in the year when he was, as I recall, below 10%.
Ramon H has been doing a nice job with the bat this year too. Most productive catching tandem in the big leagues: Rymon Hernanigan?
Thoughts?
