. How can he be so far down in runs with such a good OBP? Most will say because he had the bottom of the order behind him all year


Freeman 66 starts 216 ABs : 46 runs

Duplantis 66 starts 272 Abs: 45 runs


Bryce Jordan 54 starts 188 ABS : 40 runs


now im not great at math, but im pretty sure Jordan scores more frequently than Duplantis and at the very same rate as Freeman.


which makes your hot take of just getting to first base more ridiculous.

39 SBs compared to zero for Jordan

87 & 114 Total bases, vs 77 for Jordan


You're last paragraph is on point though. But "Just" getting to 1st base will never be out style.

First, using ABs is flawed because it removes walks and HBPs... The main factor in my point. Second, if we use plate appearances, his runs per plate appearance falls to 5th.

And let's talk about Duplantis' numbers. If you remember, he wasn't leadoff until the Vandy series. Prior to that, he was 3rd knocking in Fraley and Kramer who was leadoff for the first half of the year. Who was typically batting behind him? The Jordan brothers.
