Who’s Hot Who’s Not – July

 

We can all sense who has been doing well lately and who has not been pulling their weight.  This post takes a look at exactly that, using numbers for July 2015 from Baseball Reference.  Today’s game (third game in the Braves series) is not included in these numbers, so Mike Bolsinger’s excellent performance would improve his numbers below.

Hitters are ranked based on their OPS (on base percentage plus slugging percentage).  Pitchers are ranked based on their WHIP (walks plus hits divided by innings pitched).  To give us a sense of the sample size, I have also included the plate appearances (PA) and innings pitched (IP).
