I have always believed that consistency as a hitter is important for the leadoff spot. Not just and ob% stat.

Incredible.

That's right. The double would have scored him with no outs.

If Mitchell were to put the ball in play rather than striking out, his OB% could be damn near .600, IMO.

Not a chance in hell. He has an OBP of 471, which is spectacular. And we're complaining that he doesn't have an unattainable OBP?

And he has 42 K, which is admittedly too many, but most starters have over 20. So let's even cut those in half to 22 K's. That's 21 more balls in play. Let's even assume he hit an absurd 400 on those balls in play, going 8 for 20. His new OBP would be 508, about 30 points higher. But thats a lot of if's.
