In the movie Moneyball, Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane stated “He gets on base a lot. Do I care if it’s a walk or a hit?” This is the motto every single manager needs to live by when deciding who to put in the lead off spot. The leado ff hitter has one job: get on base. It doesn’t matter how they get on. It doesn’t matter if they’re slow or fast. It doesn’t matter what position they play. All they need to do is get on base to set up the table for the rest of the line-up.
