Atlanta Braves: 2019 Statistical Leaders on Offense
By Seth Carter
We take a look at the Atlanta Braves players who led the team in all sorts of categories with the bat in 2019.
This is pretty straight forward as we take a look at the Atlanta Braves offensive statistics from their 97-win season. We’ll list the leaders in your traditional stats and we might get a little weird with them, too. After all, this is baseball and what is baseball without some weird statistics?
Hits – Ozzie Albies paced the club in hits with 189, ending the season as the only Brave to finish with over 180 hits.
Singles – Your hits leader is also your leader in single baggers. Albies finished with four more singles than Ronald Acuna Jr.
Doubles – Ozzie Albies raked a phenomenal 43 doubles. He’s not some slap-hitting second baseman! He brings some serious pop to the keystone!
Triples – Take a wild guess as to which player finished first. For all the home runs Acuna hits, sometimes it can be easy to overlook the scrappy second basemen.
Home Runs – Josh Donaldson may have brought the rain to Atlanta, but Ronald Acuna Jr. brought the thunder with a team-leading 41 home runs. Braves’ legend Freddie Freeman finished second with 38 and the Bringer of Rain poured on 37 of his own.
557 of Acuna’s 715 plate appearances came as the leadoff hitter. Acuna blasted 34 of his 41 homers from the leadoff spot.
Runs Scored – Ronald Acuna Jr. not only led the Braves in runs scored, but he also led the entire National League in runs scored with 127 tally marks on the board.
