What about when we are on offense?

Leon Landry might be #1, 2, and 3.

Hard to believe those were the two best pitchers we might face all year. But it could well be. They were awesome.

or we just can't hit very good.

Yeah our lineup clearly stunk it up before the series.

Yes, I do know about copy & paste; however, he did take the time to look them up. No need to be an a$$. BTW - I'm a dudette.

The big question for a leadoff hitter is walks. Of course, that's true for all hitters. If everybody avoids an out, then you score an infinite amount of runs.

But getting on base is a particular key for a leadoff hitter. Getting on, setting the table, etc.

But it doesn't really matter how the leadoff hitter makes his outs (it matters slightly more for hitters later down).

This is Major League data (so SEC data) will vary. The almost horizontal line shows that teams who strike out a lot score no more or no less runs than teams that don't strike out all that much.

I agree. If a leadoff hitter strikes out, flies, out, drops a deuce on home plate and is callled out...it doesn't really matter. They are all outs.

OBP for my leadoff hitter, and success rate with SBs, is going to be what I look at the most.
