Our stats have been updated through yesterday's games. One thing we report, thanks to our friends at BIS, is the number of outs created by each player, whether at the plate, on the basepaths, or grounding into a double play.
Here's a list of all the players whose outs are 60% or less of their plate appearances (minimum 300 plate appearances):
