Misses bats in bunches; lives with the walks.

| Sean Newcomb | League | Percentile | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bases per ball in play(fewer = better) | .429 | .536 | 84th |

| Strikeout rate(higher = better) | 24% | 23% | 55th |

Escaped damage once — a crushed ball the simulator scores as a near-certain hit died in a glove behind him.
Burned 5 times — balls with a hit probability under 20% that found grass anyway.
* Approximate: sacrifice flies and bunts aren't distinguishable in our data, so every ball in play counts as an at-bat. Slightly off official figures.
