    Ryan Braun has reached safely in all 24 games so far this season. In the only one he didn’t reach via hit or walk (4/27), he reached via Hit By Pitch.

    This was a difficult one, considering there are at least 4-5 NL players that are off to scorching starts. I went with Votto based on that disgusting 12 K: 21 BB ratio. That man needs to take a shower, ’cause he’s dirty. My apologies to Tulo, Kemp, and Braun especially.
