Don't let Pratto's surface stats fool you - he is still bad and should not be leading off.
He's getting insanely lucky, with that .409 OBP driven by a wildly inflated .490 BABIP.
His batting average is .321 but his xBA is .256. His SLG is .469 but his xSLG is .397. His average launch angle is right-at-the-ground (6.3 degrees) and his barrel rate is only 7.8%. He is striking out 32.3% of the time.
