Ethan Frey-.331
Jared Jones-.323
Jake Brown-.320
Daniel Dickinson-.315
Chris Stanfield-.295
Luis Hernandez-.270
Michael Braswell-.189

2026:
Jake Brown-.400
Derek Curiel-.333
Trent Caraway-.310
Mason Braun-.281
Cade Arrambide-.279
Seth Dardar-.265
Steven Milam-.260
Zach Yorke-.256

People will certainly downvote you but I think this is more telling considering it’s hard to carry an average through a season. And the easiest time to juice your BA is right now

The pattern I noticed, was everyone started the season hot, then all cooled-off at the same time. Usually, there is a player or two who can carry the others when they are slumping.

I’m most let down by milam and arrambide. I can excuse yorke and dardar because they walk a bunch but nonetheless still hoping the bats get hot at the right time.

Not worried about milam as it feels like he knows when to get hot

Such a small sample size that in the next games if any of these go 2-4 it'll be above .300

Tigers are 11-3.....

all 3 losses were weekday games (Monday thru Thursday)
we are 11-0 on weekend series/games

Weekend starting pitching makes a difference.

we were pretty hot leading up to last monday, it’s early so a 6 game slump will absolutely tank your average

still hoping to snap out of it with a little rest

This is even more foolish than the OP comparing averages after just 14 games with averages of an entire season.

Sure they can be "juiced" earlier, because there is less at bats. If any of those players who are hitting below .300 have a weekend where they go 5 for 11 then the averages will shoot up tremendously because of the small number of at bats.

I’m curious what the BA comparison is 2025 vs 2026 with runners in scoring position.

Milam and Dickinson up the middle was so strong defensively
Obviously a decision needs to be made to figure out the best combination of defense/offense to fill the 2B shoes

The bats don’t bother me as much as the errors. Those errors contributed more to the losses by keeping innings going than the cold bats. Darder isn’t even in the same realm as Dickinson defensively so he has to make up for that with his bat.

Braun is the only one who would reach .300 with a 2-4 game. Arrambide & Dardar need two games in a row. Milam and Yorke would need to do it the whole weekend.

Dardar, Yorke, and Milam all have a ton of walks. Also Braun has been robbed a few times. I like Brauns bat. Catchers, both have disappeared and drop to many balls.
