Some interesting notes on Jonathan Lucroy

Previously I've dug into the offensive problems of Casey McGehee and Yuni B and most recently Craig Counsell (again, sorry Craig).

I was doing some numbers for a different potential post and got stuck looking at Jonathan Lucroy.

Lucroy isn't a bad hitter by any means in fact over the season he's crushing last year's numbers. .284 7 HR 39 RBI, and he's certainly been better than those other 3 with the exception of Yuni lately (I know right!!), but some things jumped out at me.



Since June 28 he is 17/62 for a solid .274.

Since June 28 his slugging is also .274.

That's 17 straight singles.

That's zero extra base hits in nearly a month.

He has been caught stealing more times than he has made it to second on his own batted ball.

Other notes:

He's batting .500 on bunts (2/4).

He's batting .791 when he hits a line drive (34/43).

He's batting .243 combined on flies and ground balls.

He should probably stick with the first 2 options.
