Ok, I’ll give you a little more than that. Still, isn’t that an amazing small sample size stat? I love early season samples. You get the weirdest data. It’s scrumptious.
And while Nootbaar is not likely to maintain a walk rate that high, it did start me wondering how high his walk rate could get.
Walking is a skill that Nootbaar has mastered in his very short MLB career. Last season, Nootbaar had a 14.7% walk rate in 347 plate appearances.
