Random Dodger Stats
Jeepers, Creepers... Where'd You Get Those RBIs?
Juan Pierre is leading the major leagues in most RBIs (21) without having hit a homerun. Second on this list is none other than teammate Russell Martin with 20. The next closest is Pirate outfielder Nyjer Morgan with 17. Dodger reserve player Mark Loretta is 14th on the list with 10 RBIs. It's easy to see why Juan Pierre makes this list due to his OPS of .944, but Russell Martin makes it with no triples and an OPS of .695.
Party Pooper!
Andre Either takes over James Loney's role from last years team as the double play king. Ethier actually leads the National League in hitting into the most ground ball double plays with 12. Only Boston's Mike Lowell has more (13). James Loney? He has hit into 5 so far this year, good for 69th most in MLB.
You're Out!
James Loney leads the Dodgers in total number of outs made with 152. Andre Ethier is right behind Loney with 149. The Mariners Adrian Beltre leads all of baseball with 172 outs made. Beltre has an OPS of .584. Good thing he plays great defense.
Ouch!
Andre Ethier leads the Dodgers with 5 hit by pitches. Amazingly, Chase Utley leads all of baseball with 11.
One Trick Pony
Chris Davis of the Rangers leads baseball with the most homeruns for a player with an OPS of less than .700. Davis has 12 HRs and an OPS of .689. Davis has put up the following line so far this year (.194/.253/.436). Truly pathetic for someone with so many HRs.
Whiff! Chris Davis also leads all of baseball with the highest K%. Davis has struck out a whopping 46.7% of the time he has come up to bat. The highest K% for a Dodger is Matt Kemp at 25.9%, which is exactly his career K%.
Raking
David Wright of the Mets leads the majors with a BABIP of .452. Juan Pierre is 3rd in the majors with a BABIP of .419. Matt Kemp is 11th, with a BABIP of .393. The Dodgers as a team lead the majors with a BABIP of .340. The next closest is the Rays at .323.
Lucky Slob
Johnny Cueto of the Reds has the lowest BABIP against in the majors at .234. The luckiest Dodger in this regard is Clayton Kershaw, who comes in with a BABIP against of .254, good enough for 11th place in the majors.
On The Flip Side
Poor Jon Lester of the Red Sox wears the crown for unluckiest pitcher with a BABIP against of .374, narrowly beating out Tim Lincecum who comes in at .367. By comparison the first Dodger who shows up on this chart is Chad Billingsley with a .297 BABIP against. Hmmm... it pays to be both good and lucky!
