July 28, 201016 yr And is it just me or does Hanley swing at way too many first pitches lately? If thats his thing, fine... but if he's in a slump, I gotta believe thats something he can lay off to try and fix things.
July 28, 201016 yr wow! just checked and he has led off an inning 46 times out of his 144 ab's. in comparison hanley has led off an ining 67 times. That's incredible, just wow.

Next question, how many of those leadoff at-bats have resulted in hits? (hits which in turn could have hypothetically kept a rally going?)

Next question, how many of those leadoff at-bats have resulted in hits? (hits which in turn could have hypothetically kept a rally going?) it doesnt really work that way but hes hitting .283 in those situations but with runners on he is hitting .250 with a .906 OPS and with RISP he is hitting .273 with a 1.056 OPS. he needs to be hitting higher. and with 2 outs and RISP he is ridiculous in only 14 ab's though.

If there are ~4 batters per inning, ~1/4th of your ABs should be "leading off" an inning. And I'm not sure if the 144 is PAs or ABs. And Hanley bats 3rd, so he never leads off the 1st time at bat, so of course his number will be lower.....what am I missing?

I'm taking into account the vast difference in PA between Hanley and Stanton. I'll admit I didn't look up any numbers, but a difference of 19 times leading off within what has to be significant number of PA between the two players, it can still be reasoned that Stanton is coming to bat first at a much, much higher rate than Hanley. That's all.
