Overall N.L. T-OBP Leaders (as of 4/21)

After watching the offensively challenged teams slowly pull down the weekly team rankings. I decided to do an overall N.L. T-OBP leaderboard. Here are the leaders through 4/21/13.


1. Shin-Soo Choo, Reds: T-OBP .534

"High-five for dominating!"

2. Joey Votto, Reds: .533

T3. David Wright, Mets: .481
T3. Carlos Gonzalez, Rockies: .481

5. Lucas Duda, Mets: .475

6. Adrian Gonzalez, Dodgers: .474

7. Michael Cuddyer, Rockies: .463

8. A.J. Ellis, Dodgers: .459

9. Chris Denorfia, Padres: .456

10. Carl Crawford, Dodgers: .453

11. Travis Snider, Pirates: .449

12. Daniel Murphy, Mets: .444

13. Everth Cabrera, Padres: .442

T14. Jean Segura, Brewers: .438
T14. Bryce Harper, Nationals: .438

Hard to believe that the Reds have their leadoff guy and their 3-hitter with a T-OBP of over .500.  Perhaps even harder to believe is that the Mets have 3 guys in the top-15. Weren't they supposed to struggle this year?

The Mets and Dodgers both have 3 players in the top-15. The Mets have translated that into the 2nd most runs in the N.L. The Dodgers, however, have scored the second fewest. I would venture to guess, if this keeps up, that the Dodgers will break out and score some runs. They have 3 of their top 6 guys getting on base over 45% of the time. With the caliber of hitters they have, it's only a matter of time before those runners score.
