2021 - 1 sub .225 hitter (Milazzo), with Beloso close at .226

So not really sure where this narrative you concocted comes from. Mainieri had 8 total that would even kind of qualify over his entire career (among regular starters). of those 8, most of them were catchers, 3 of the 4 being guys who were elite defeinsively (Papierski/Ross/Feducia). Papierski has reached the majors with 2 different teams and Feducia is in AAA. Until the very end of his career, we were typically one of the better hitting teams every year in the SEC.

Further, who are all the sub .225 hitters on the roster this year? I count one.
