Sub .200 Hitters

[Bahama O's Fan]

I don't know if anyone has kept track of this but how many sub .200 hitters have been in our lineup this year? How many lineups have had at least one sub .200 hitter in it. If there's a record we have got to be close to breaking it right?

We have Mullins, Davis, Martin, and Peterson.  So the Orioles have 4 using 40 at bats and nonpitchers.

I'm not sure but there would have to be a minimum ABs to qualify and Pitchers likely wouldn't qualify. 

Stewart would need 16 more at bats to Qualify.

Also Rickard, Broxton, and Sucre were over .200 and all are off the team.

The next lowest average is Wilkerson in the low .220s.

I have to imagine some other rebuilding club has had more than 5.

The Detroit Tigers have. Candelario , Hicks, Harrison, Wilson  and Greiner that have at least 40 ABs. Matook has 23 ABs and doesn't have a hit. Again this is counting non pitchers with 40. They also have Beckham and Lugo who just over .200 at .203 & .207.

If you use non-pitchers, BA <=200, and AB => 50, then the answer is at least 7. Sorry my subscription is up so I can't view the top 10 at the moment.

If it wasn't for Sisco's hot start he would be in that group. I fully expect him to teeter on the Mendoza line soon.

Yep, and in a similar vein if it wasn't for all the hits so would Hanser Alberto.

I would have thought that after last year that would have been changed to the Davis line.

I  choose to differ with the definition of a HITTER,  as in the thread title.  I have always made it a point to call  an under  .200 average a BATTER,  not a HITTER.

Who the Orioles? It would be 4 Martin, Davis, Peterson, and Mullins. Stewart only has 24 ABs so I’m not sure how your getting 7??

[Roll Tide]

Technically speaking you’d have to have enough ABs to qualify just as you do to qualify for the batting title.

So Martin and Davis are the only players that would even have a chance to qualify.

So the real answer is ... We only have 2

The qualifying requirements for league leadership in a hitting category are based on plate appearances, not at-bats, so as not to penalize hitters who draw a lot of walks. In order to qualifyfor a batting title, a player needs 3.1 plate appearances per scheduled game, or 502 PA over a 162-game schedule.

The Davis line is .170.
