Question

What player currently holds the lowest batting average in the MLB and what team does he play for?

Answer 1

Probally any american league pitcher when they start during interleague games. Most of them are batting .000

Answer 2

LaHair  Seattle .000 0/4

Answer 3

...for a non-pitcher who has at least one hit... it would be...

Rajai Davis of the San Francisco Giants

He's batting .056 in 18 at bats.

*here's a cool fact... there are over 170 players this year (with at least one at bat) who are batting .000

...mostly pitchers obviously

Answer 4

For players that get regular time, I'm going to guess Tony Pena, Jr. of the Royals.  He's batting a whopping .152.  There are 28 pitchers in the National League that have a higher OPS than Pena does.

Answer 5

There are about 5 players on the Seattle Mariners.

Answer 6

Tony Pena, Jr. of the Royals. He's batting a whopping .152.

Answer 7

is Mario Mendoza still playing?

Juan Castro is 0 for 14 = .000 he plays for the O's

over 100 ABs

J.R. Towles (Stros) was just optioned to AAA batting .144

over 200 ABs

Carlos Ruiz (Phillies) .204

over 300 ABs

Khalil Greene (Padres) .214

Carlos Gómez is 3 ABs away from 400 & is batting .247

Answer 8

Actually it's not Rajai Davis, it's Johnny Cueto of Cincinati. .036 in 28 ABs, 2 walks, 10 SOs and 1 RBI.

That's not counting all the .000 avg players, most of which though only have one or two at bats. If you count the .000 avgs but want players that have played the majority of the season then it looks like Jason Bergman gets the honor playing in 15 games (he's a pitcher) for Washington Nationals, he's been with the team since opening day with the exception of a short stint in AAA, 23 ABs, 14 strikeouts, .000 AVG.

If you're only counting players that qualify as batting for a full season though it is Green as stated above.

Answer 9

Andruw Jones of the Dodgers?

That's purely a guess, because I can't think of anyone else.

Answer 10

Khalil Greene of the Padres
