Batting Average with Runners in Scoring Position

by drodd on Jun 25, 2009 11:21 AM EDT Comment 27 comments

I have heard some comments from the media and blogs about the Cubs inability to get clutch hits with runners in scoring position. I decided to pull some #s to see how bad things have gotten.

The numbers don't lie. The Cubs are the worst in the NL in batting average with runners in scoring positions and there is one active Cub with a batting average over .300 with runners in scoring position. This is bad.
