Bacsik in Play
Mike Bacsik is an extreme pitch to contact hurler. Coming into today, he had the highest percentage of batters faced putting the ball in play, 87.1%. Not surprisingly, he came into the game with a rather high batting average allowed, .287. But it worked tonight, as he struck out three and walked none in twenty four batters faced. He allowed just three hits, although two were home runs. So on 19 fieldable balls in play, he only allowed one hit as the Nationals defeated the Reds 7-3.
Here are the five highest Ball in Play Percentages (300 BFP):
