We are 11th in batting average, at .237. Ha ha! League avg is a woeful .232. At least we are 2nd in lowest K%
We are also 2nd in FG baserunning. But only 22nd in fielding. Ryan was talking about us being 29th in DRS despite Michael Taylor leading baseball. I think our defense is prob better than the metrics thus far

2) The SP has been strong, even with Keller struggling. It will even out some, but there's help on the way, too (Lynch, Lacy).

I’d include Bubic.
