Hey statheads!

Is there any way to find out which teams ground out into the most double plays?

Cubs are only 8th in the NL, believe it or not.

The Cubs don't get nearly enough men on base to lead the league in double plays. I would bet that the Cubs rank near the top of the league in GIDP per man on first base, which we could fairly accurately calculate by:

 

GIDP/(Singles + BB + HBP)

 

Obviously, this wouldn't give us an exact number, but it would be a good rough estimate.

Astros

Cardinals

Phillies

Mets

Bears out the notion that they get more guys on base.

I agree. Those teams that are grounding into a lot of DP's may also be getting on base more.
