Yes it means something. Heyward has always said he dislikes hitting first because if makes him feel like he has to change. Just like being a closer if anyone could do it everyone would have good closers and leadoff hitters.
61 players have at least 75 PA as a hitting 1st and Heyward's OBP from the spot is 60th of 61 with the one behind him being Josh Harrison who got released yesterday. Schwarber had just a .304 OBP leading off which was 45th. If you just want SLG out of the spot then they need to back to Schwarber who hit 17 HR in the spot which lead to his wRC+ being 28th vs Heyward's 60 of 61 players.
Being the leadoff hitter is way more than first AB of the game, since the rest of your PA are still in front of the good hitters. His OPS as the first hitter of the game is .983 because the lone 3 hits he has to start games are XBH while that BA is .200 the OBP is .250.
Javy had 1st and 3rd and bases loaded both with no outs and swung at the first pitch for outs on the infield both times, then Happ couldn't get it out of the infield with one out both times following.
Game changing choke. 1st and 3rd and no outs 13 pitches deep into the inning, only to make 3 outs on the next 6 pitches to fail to score or drive up his PC.
Uh, that is good news. Relax. This [expletive] doesn't understand sample size His whole rehab is going to be a small sample size numbnuts, the better he does the more likley he will come back to the majors rather than retire.
