However, after running the numbers, while his adjusted average of .265 is higher than Rollins, Ruiz still can be considered the team leader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-84735250434535888822012-11-12T22:19:22.129-05:002012-11-12T22:19:22.129-05:00Under Rule 10.22(a), if the player with the highes...Under Rule 10.22(a), if the player with the highest average in a league fails to meet the minimum plate-appearance requirement, the remaining at-bats until qualification (e.g., 5 ABs, if the player finished the season with 497 plate appearances) are hypothetically considered hitless at-bats; if his recalculated batting average still tops the league, he is awarded the title. By this standard, Ruiz actually led the Phillies in hitting. If you add the necessary 81 hitless at bats to get him up to 502, his adjusted batting average is .267, which is still higher than Rollins. Therefore, he can be credited with winning the Phillies batting title this year. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
