As of 8/27/08, here are the majors’ top hitting pitchers (min 25 PA):
Carlos Zambrano, Chi .365
Brandon Backe, Hou . 302
Micah Owings, Ari .288
Braden Looper, Stl .275
Adam Wainwright, Stl .267
You can see the full list I saved over at Baseball Reference’s Play Index.
Not only is Zambrano at the top of the list of hitting but his 14 rbis dwarfs second place Brandon Webb’s 7 (which ironically he got with a .138 BA and no HR).
Zambrano needs a little lovin’ after his rough August.
Go Cubs!
