Dee_Gordon_on_June_18,_2015

Dee Gordon leads all full timers with three 11s as well as 13 hit numbers

 

Yeah, yeah, I’ve done pitching and defense but what about the hitting?  I mean that’s why we roll the dice, right?  Okay, here it is. 

Quite simply the 2015 players with the most first column 1s…

Hitter Team # of 1s
Curt Casali TB 3
Chris Davis BAL 2
Zach Britton BAL 2
David Ortiz BOS 2
J.D. Martinez DET 2
Daniel Norris DET 2
Mike Trout LAA 2
Albert Pujols LAA 2
Mark Teixeira NYY 2
Greg Bird NYY 2
Franklin Gutierrez SEA 2

Carlos Gonzalez COL 2
Nolan Arenado COL 2
Giancarlo Stanton MIA 2

With a 33-1, Curt Casali might be more popular in drafts than probably warranted.  And check out Toronto with their tater trio. 

Casali is also among the players who lead with five extra base hit numbers (0-6).
