DHs Have Struggled Mightily In 2013
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2013 7:14 pm
The designated hitter slot was created to improve offense in the American League, but it hasn't been very successful this season.
AL designated hitters have a .246/.325/.409 line in 2013, against .256/.321/.405 for all AL hitters.
Only the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners have an .800+ OPS from their DHs.
