Walk Surge

Chone Figgins went two for four with a walk today to raise his OBA to .507. In his career, Chone's OBA was pretty tightly linked to his batting average. He would walk about the same amount every year, so a good or bad OBA depended on how well he hit. For his career, coming into this season, Figgins walked once every 14.1 at bats. This season, it's every 4.3 at bats. At little more selectivity has gone a long way for Chone as he helped the Angels to a 7-4 win over Texas today.
