this is true. His is .859. And he is a leadoff hitter.

If you are going to excuse his numbers because he is a leadoff hitter, shouldn't you also punish him for having a mediocre OBP for a leadoff hitter?

his .344 OBP is subpar for a leadoff man -- but he still led the league in runs scored and stole 41 bases

If you lead the league in runs scored despite having a subpar OBP for a leadoff hitter, then your teammates get a lot of the credit for a) driving you home and b) getting you a ton more at bats than the average leadoff hitter.
