Jean Segura is off to a strong start, as usual

Last night, against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday Night Baseball, Jean Segura went 1-for-3 with a single and walk.

Segura has played in twelve games this year, and he’s recorded at least one hit in ten of them. He’s reached base safely in every game but one.

While Segura’s .267 batting average and .771 OPS might not look too impressive, it’s important to remember that offense has been down this year around the league. National League batters are hitting just .234 with a .683 OPS this season.

As such, Jean Segura’s batting average is 14% better than league average, while his on-base percentage is 4% better and his slugging percentage is 20% better.
