Second Base:

  • Neil Walker: 2.3 BsR
    • 2.3 BsR (Above average) 

    Second base has been manned by Neil Walker for basically the entire season and while Neil is often criticized for his lack of defensive range and slow base-running he’s actually been a surprisingly efficient base-runner in 2015. His numbers show that despite his speed, he’s been above average at running the bases.

    The Pittsburgh Kid has been a solid base-runner for most of the season. How does Korean Jesus compare?
