No Power

Reggie Willits picked up his tenth hit of the season in the first inning, raising both his batting average and his slugging percentage to .370. That made we wonder who knocked out the most hits this season without one for extra bases. It's Tony Graffanino with eleven. Of course, with many fewer at bats he's hitting in the low .200s. Jason Phillips also lacks a long hit among his 10 safeties.

Rafael Belliard is my favorite all-time player for "flatline" averages - BA, OBP and SLG all the same. He had no power and would swing at anything. He racked up flatlines in three different seasons where he had 20+ PA's:

1984 .227/.227/.227
1985 .200/.200/.200
1998 .250/.250/.250

Okay, he barely made 20 PA's in each of those years, but that's 60+ plate appearances with a flatline. His career line was almost flat: .221/.270/.259.
