I could probably figure it out but has anyone checked Heyward's OBP since moving to leadoff? Got to be close to .500 doesn't it?
He's been hitting like Babe Ruth since they put him in the lead off spot. Still looks funny having a guy his size leadoff.

Heyward moved to the leadoff spot on July 27. According to baseball reference, since then he's hit:
.357/.471/.607

Well, he is not your prototypical leadoff hitter.....but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
8 in a row suckas!
Everyone has been league average or better since the ASB except Gattis.
Here is the teams WRC+ for the main starting 8 since then
Heyward - 164
Upton - 102
Freeman - 159
Mac 158
Gattis - 67
Johnson - 182
Uggla - 104
Simmons - 139
Not only just one person being a negative hitter but we have 4 hitters going at an all-star level or better. It's fun to watch.
